I am looking for a F-150 FX2 brand new and finally found "one". It came out with 20" Ford factory rims that look great. However, when I was test-driving, I noticed that I got a little shakes on steering wheel. It's fine at lower speed. Once it gets about 60 mph+, it shakes. Other than that, everything's fine (yes, it's brand new).

I had them check tire pressure and re-testdrove, but it was the same. I did my research here and found that most of steering wheel shake issues come from misalignment/unbalanced tire balance. Because this is brand new, I doubt it.

I purchased a 07 Tundra with 20" chrome wheels that were installed by Texas Toyota dealer (not Toyota). After driving 3K miles, I got severe shakes on steering wheel. I had them check it, and they replaced something (I don't remember). Then it's gone.

I am now thinking that the 20" rims and tires make the shakes on the F-150. What do you think? Since this is the only one available, I need to buy this, but don't want hassle
