Steering problems

I bought some used Enkei wheels off of a guy on the board and after I put them on I started having problems with alignement. I didn't have this problem with my stockers, so I'm inclined to think that something else is happen'.

Basically the car pulls to the right to the point where I have to keep the steering wheel at about 11 o'clock instead of dead center. When I hit bumps it will sometimes pull back to normal and rarely to the left a bit. My steering isn't loose. It's very responsive.

What could I check and do you guys think it might be tire related since they are used tires( got new 275's in my livin' room) or maybe brakes grabbing a bit on right side.

Any thoughts would help
thanx
Joe

balance?

Well one thing that comes to my mind that probably isnt going to comfort you all that much is that one of the wheels may be bent, probably not but it could be. another possibility is that the balance is off. My buddy bought some new 18's for his T/A and when he put them on it was vibrating like hell, it turns out the weight on one of the wheels had fallen off during shipping. Im not exactly sure on any one thing but maybe this will help.
