Wheels wobbling!!!

Yaris world please help!!! So I removed my 18 wheels to put my factory rims back on for the winter and now when I drive my car wobbles like crazy!!?? What did I do wrong?, the car was driving fine with the 18's as it was lowered on trd's then aligned. I'm puzzled cuz this has never happened to me before with my previous cars all lowered with plus size rims!!!??? Please help?

I'd go back and re-install every wheel, spinning them while they're in the air to ensure they are on straight. After that, I'd get them balanced. If they've been sitting for a while, they might have lost a wheel weight or gotten lopsided from being pushed-up against something.
Also, if you've ever put slime or fix-a-flat into a tire, it might have pooled in one spot. That would definitely give you a wobble.

pics? sound like either the tires/wheels need balancing or they're not sitting straight on the hub....this is assuming the lugs are tight and seated properly....

if your leaving you hub rings on with your stock wheels thats probaly your problem. they will bolt up and not need any kinda spacer or hubcentrics.
