My mustang is 2010 v6, i changed new tires and wheels in November last year, and after that i did not drive it on highway. the wheels changed from 17 to 18.
But yesterday when i was driving on highway i found it was vibrating, vibration was obvious when the speed is beyond 80 mph, less when between 60 and 80 mph.
What should I do to solve this?
Thank you!
the whole car. I think front may be more serious than rear. Actually we took a video of vibration, but it is hard too see because my friend said he was also vibrating with the car••••(≧∇≦)

I have done the wheel balance. actually the vibration still exist•••although much less. When it reach 60mph.do you think I should remove the rotor clips?
One thing you can do, and it's free (your labor) or maybe your tire store does this as part of the sale to you...Rotate the front tires to the back, and the back tires to the front. This is possible if all four tires are the same size. Normally there's a "pattern" to rotating tires as described in your owners manual. But for this test, move the fronts to the rear, and the rears to the front. See if the vibration went away, or if the vibration moved to the rear. This may help pinpoint which tire(s) are the culprit.
If there is no change, then the tires appear to be good, and the vibration is coming from somewhere else. A trip to a good suspension shop would be my next choice if the rotor retainer clip is also not the solution.
One other thing... no mention of the rims used. If they're cheaper aftermarket, not really intended for the mustang, it might need hub centric rings. Seen that happen on various vehicles.
Tire pressure. If they are over inflated it could cause a vibration. Set the psi to what the door tag says.
