Yeah, come on, Wes... Just put them on and see how they look... Otherwise, your gonna drive yourself crazt staring at them all Winter if you don't.

 

You guys are BADDD.....

Okay since I dont have a proper jack, do you guys recommend I use the jack that comes with the car to just mount it and see if the fitment is correct?

Another issue.. I dont have a torque wrench. I still need to get one.

 

Wes, all I ever use is the factory jack.
The 1/2" drive torque wrench would make a great early Christmas present for yourself Wes
Remember 80 ft-lbs

 

Rims look clean Wes I can't wait to see those puppies mounted....the center caps are so nice too!

 

1/2" drive torque wrench on sale for $20 at princess auto.

(no excuses)

hahaha!

 

Factory jack works just fine, Wes. It is a little more work to use and it will take a little more time, but at least it would damage the underside of your car like most hydraulic jacks will. Harbor Freight has torque wrenches for pretty cheap... I've got a Craftsman torque wrench and one from Harbor Freight and I actually prefer the Harbor Freight one. Or, if you don't want to buy a torque wrench, just tighten the lugs down with the factory lug wrench (or a large 1/2" drive wrench) and then stop by Sears or somewhere and ask them to either rotate and/or balance your tires (if your due), or just have them retorque the lugs for you.

 

I think the rims will look sick, especially since the spokes extend all the way to the lip (like the G37C rims do). Makes them look larger than they actually are.

Now, you need to get a set of these to protect your rim when removing/installing the lug nuts:



Also, you need a torque wrench

 

You should definitely check fitment soon Wes.
Don't wait for spring.
Believe me I know first hand

You don't need a TQ wrench just to test fit.
Just snug them up.

 

Plus, if you wait until you mount the tires and for some reason they don't fit, you're screwed as they most likely won't take the rims back.

 

Nice!!! I definitely need a set. Who makes these anyway?

 

^Yeah those are nice, make a good christmas stocking stuffer for me.

 

Kinetix, but I got them off ebay from pro-tools. Cheap too, like 2X.XX for the set of 3

Aluminum, with a plastic sleeve to protect the wheels lug nut channels

 

^ Very nice. I'll have to check out eBay and get me a set. My lugnuts came with a nice rubber lined socket, but the outside portion isn't covered, so it only protects the lugnut, not the wheel itself.

 

FWIW....
I made my own with some shrink sleeve.
It's not easy to find in a large enough size, but it works great.

 

^ exactly!
