If the wheel is wobbling in the Knock off something is definitely wrong. I =
would not drive it a=C2=A0 hope that it tightened up.=C2=A0Are the splined =
hubs & knockoffs new? I have heard of the threads on new hubs not being com=
patible with the threads on new knockoffs. Two different sources/manufactur=
ers. You should be able to tighten the knockoff by hand enough to seat the =
knockoff on the wheel, no hammering required. Then tighten the knock off wi=
th several solid blows of the hammer. This should be done with the weight o=
f the car off the wheel.Gary Hodson
