How many times do you have to balance aftermarket rims because i balanced mine like 2 months ago and now my steering wheels is shaking again?
what do i have to do to figure out whats wrong?

Usually they put the stick on weights on aftermarket wheels. If the area wasn't cleaned well before the put the weights on, they could have fallen off. I have had that happen to me several times. Have you hit any major pot holes or bumps? That could cause it as well
 






i used to work at a tire shop... it could be that cuz we have had to put the adhesive weights on aftermarkets before... if it has a lip on the edge, just get them to put some real weights on it to balance it easier... then again ur wheels might need alignment
 






Try using duct tape over the weights too.
 






You might want to try the stick on weight that goes inside the tire. They are a long tube filled with a media that moves inside the tube to re-balance the tires as you drive. Duct tape on wheels is gangster.
