New headlights and wheels

Added some new black projector headlights. I wired the halos and the outer yellow lights as DRL's, the two top LEDs to come on with the headlights, and this other random light to the parking lights. They look great compared to dull stock ones. I also got some vw golf wheels. But I posted a picture of how bad they throw off the alignment.

My BBS rims are from i believe a Jetta and my alignment is fine. even with 205/50's on them.

If your switching tires, you should get an alignment anyhow.

My car going from my summers to my snows gets about a 1/8th turn to the wheel (makes little sense to me) but it drives straight and true, without abnormal wear. So I no longer align it between season changes.

I'm not sure why the aveo does this, as I could switch tires and rims on most any other car and not affect steering what so ever.
I would think it is an issue, but when I switch back to the summer wheels the alignment goes right back to where it should be.

So my suggestion is align it to the wheels you use.

It's out of balance of the wheels that is throwing it off. Alignment doesn't change simply by swapping wheels.

Did you need to pick up ball seat lugnuts to fit those wheels? Or do they have a standard tapered seat?

Stock oem lug nuts.

Dent repair on an aveo is like fixing a pop can, good luck, I am scared to try n fix mine as an example in futility. Post a pic when done

the dent is pulled out, just needs duraglassed, then bondo, then painted.

i think u need to drop ur suspension....

why would i do that?

Its way too high off the ground. mine too was this high, i find it more comfortable since Ive dropped it.

Some of us prefer to be able to go over speed bumps without scraping the bottom of the car... :)

plenty comfortable. And explain the point of lowering a car that isn't made for performance?
