Default car is pulling harrrrrrrrd to left

ever since i put any kind of aftermarket wheel on my car it pulls the the left hard durind breaking. i have had 2 sets of 17" wheels and both of them did this. the wheel actually makes half of a turn when i hit the brakes.......i am putting spring/shock combo on in about a week so i will be getting it realigned. do you think this will help.
i have also already tried rotating/balancing my wheels.
the car will also pull to the left and right at highway speeds. sometimes right then left. it's driving me crazy
please give me some suggestions
holla

Your alignment is probably off. Other than that, it can also be uneven tire wear.

Bought some Khumo Escta 712's for the stock wheels and the car pulled to the left as well, rotated the tires and even mounted left side tires on the right side the car still pulled to the left, tired every tire on every corner and still left. Car was aligned at the dealer and it still pulled to the left. Swapped the wheels and tires and the car went straight, dealer blamed the tires. Tire shop blammed the car, I emailed the Khumo warranty rep and he said get the tire shop swap all 4 tires. Tire shop talked to the warranty rep and replaced all 4 tires.... car now goes straight!!!

Try swapping the wheel/tires with a buddy and see if she goes straight, if she does it's probably the tires.

It sounds like it's just the larger rims because I know a few people that have the same problems with new tires..
Just to make sure I would try the stock rims back on the car...I bet it stops.
