Got new rims, but now car pulls to the right

Dont waste money on an alignment you probably have a bad tire, sounds like a radial pull to me.

If this pull is small, and has been going on for less than a few days... give it some time. I've gotten this whenever I switch from winters to summers. It ultimately is ME that is the problem. I've forgotten how tramlining feels. If it doesn't go away, go back to who put the wheels and tires on and have them figure it out.
