Default urgent need help

ok so i got the rims the other day had them mounted and balanced and i went home to put them on, so i put on the rims and used the same lugs as the truck came with no problem. then i go to brake when i test drove it and the dam truck feels like its going to fall apart. so i thought well maybe the lugs arent long enough so i bought deeper lugs, it helped but still get the same dam shaking when i brake, is this because the lugs arent tight enough or the wheels arent balanced right?[/align]

i had the same problem with my dak when i went with the 20's check to see if any of the weights have fallen off. if they are the type that have the double sided tape they may have lost one. also after about 25 miles of driving the rims need to be retorqued, also you could have a bad rim from the manufacture.
