Subject:	Snow Packed Rims = Wobbly Wheel

    Pulled out to do some errands today in the 200q20v and noticed nothing
odd on the snow covered road leading to the main road.  The main road was
snow free and once I got to 50mph to steering wheel started to shake
violently.  Well something must have gotten out of alignment when driving in
heavy snow, but no.  As I walked out of the store I thought maybe the snow
packed in the mesh rims was causing the wheels to act unbalanced.  I cleaned
them all out with my finger and bingo, no wobble.  Anyone else ever
experienced this?

Happy New Years!
