I have a bmw 1.6i 3 series 2 door coupe.
I have fitted alloys on it 17" alpina's
I notice when i'm doing over 30mph on the motorway the car is very noisy, like as if I have a wheel bearing going. I have checked all 4 wheels, the bearings are sound, do you think it's just the tyres, or is there something more sinister going on
thanks

Sorry, I forgot, the alpinas are brand new

its going to be because of the new wheels. low profile tires always rough-in up the car.

Put the factory wheels back on it, then sell your fancy rims for almost what you paid for them to the next sucker, and your problem is fixed.
