it's probably only a harmonics problem. see, everything has it's own harmonic sound...like a certain amount of water in a glass sounds different than another amount of water in the same glass...learned that in physics right? it's the same with you're car. the axles have their own sound (in the form of vibration) with the factory wheels (or at least 14 inch wheels). When you change the wheels it throws the harmonics off. when you put on a 17 or 18 the vibration increases at about 65mph. It usually runs in increments of 3 mph. So, let off the gas after it starts then hit the gas again and get to 68 mph.<br>later Brandy

I had the same problem before? a wheal balancing should fix it? (costs something like 40 bucks...)

I had mine balanced twice at two different places and then talked to a guy in research and development at Toyota. He explained the harmonics to me and said that's what it probably was.<br>Brandy
