Riding on square tires?
When the brake is applied or the car is going slowly, it feels like I'm riding on square wheels, which means the driving force is not consistent. The tire pressure is ok and all wheels have just been balanced. The mechanic told me I needed hub adapters for the aftermarket rims to fill in the gap between holes and lugnuts to avoid small vibration. Is that the cause or I should check somewhere else? Any suggestion is appreciated.

I used to have the vibration at high speed. That is why I had my wheels balanced. After balancing, it is no longer that obvious, but the vibration at low speed becomes annoying.

I had vibration at high speed even after replacing all four rotors, both front axle assy.
My next step is wheel bearings and my fwd L/H suspension arm(rattle).
And my rear Brembo crossdrilled rotors are already warped, I must clean and re-lubricate my caliper guide pins more often.
