Default Finally got one

Hello All. After years of practical car purchases (reliable, economical, utility) I finally went out and got my Jag. I've been a fan of the x308 since the 90's. Now that my 2 oldest are grown ,,, sort of... I gave my Honda to the middle child and I picked up an 03 XJ8. Great condition! One problem. I got it with a slight steering vibration at highway speed. I attributed that to the worn out original tires with 80k miles. I also found one rim to be bent. I just put 4 new rims and tires on it. Vibration still there. Anyone else experience this at around 55mph? Any suggestions appreciated.

Good for you!
If you have a bent rim you probably could do with a full alignment too.
