you should check the condition of your suspension bushings and get underneath of the car and torque everything to spec just to check. how is the alignment of the car?
I honestly have had no time to do anything with the car after i asked this question, i havent even had time to order in struts. I am going to replace the struts, and i am also going to check the rack bushings. I do not know what the factory wheel options are so i can tell you if they are stock or not, they have some mesh pattern. I dont know what you mean by hubcentric either. I have not found any of the suspension bushings to be noticeably loose. The car tracks straight and i do not notice any weird wear patterns on the tires.

Thanks.
