any body else have issues w/GTA rims?

I finaly got my GTA rims a while back and i noticed that the car feels uneasy with them im not sure how to describe it but it feels like the wheels are gonna fall off. so i put the iroc rims back on and it feels tighter again? i had the wheels balanced and figured its just the rims feel different. anybody else notice this maybe its just the weight difference the gta rims are lighter.

Are the tires on the GTA wheels the same as the IROCs? Tires make a big difference.

these rims are very light compared to the iroc ones so they bend more easy check that your rims are straight and that your instaling them where they belong front and back i have a complete set of bent rimsthat am about to throw away
