Well, if they are indeed a 60* taper (which I'm pretty sure they are), then you're not going to get any reputable shop to install them for you if you intend to use the stock V36 lugs. It's all good to have them look at them and verify it for you, but be quite prepare to NOT have them installed until you get some new lugs.

Wheels are on I know, I know. Needs a drop Soon soon. Gotta get a house first.
Sorry for the bad cell pic
Guy that sold'em to me said they were in perfect shape. Not so. Had to drive quite a bit to get them, so didn't want to come home empty handed. Next time I'm bringing a bucket of water with me and a brush lol
Oh well, you live and you learn. Just wish people were more truthful.

Unsprung weight has a correlated ratio of 8:1 to curb weight.
32lb increase in unsprung weight is a 256lb increase in curb weight.
So running the new Enkeis vs the older Rays is like driving around constantly with your 250lb friend sitting in your passenger seat.
Hence why people go into strict detail of over unsprung weight, its quite critical, 2pieces rotors, forged wheels, light weight lugnuts, etc, the benefits are dramatically amplified.

I just read from the new R&T, they did a test with FRS. putting better rims and tires on it. i don't have the copy with me but if I remember correctly ...
the stock 17" with better tires has the best time. with a upgraded light weight 18" (which is lighter than stock) the car is actually slower around the track, but offer better grip (more tires on the ground).
they mentioned something about the weight of the rim is distrubted more to the outside and ended up slowing the car down on acceleration
