Yes but this only happened when i swapped alloys over ?

What alloys did you have on before?

possibly un even tyre tread from n/s to o/s check the tyres on all 4 and put the wheels that have the closest match in depth on the front should help

Ok ,

Wheel offset maybe if the wheels you had were different? I ran my 17" RS4 reps for a week as I was gonna refurb my S3 alloys and noticed that I was fighting the camber of the road more as the offset was 35 rather than 32 and the wheel was the same width... gave the impression the steering wheel wasn't aligned

The only other thing I can think of is that a wheel is not on squarely and you are having to compensate by holding the wheel off centre when driving straight..

Im not sure i might just wait until i get a new set of tyres fitted all round and get a 4 wheel alignment then ... what do u think ?

sounds like a plan... always worth getting it checked at least
