Going to get rims :)
This tuesday i'm going to get some new rims, but i wanted to make sure i get everything i need when i buy them.
I need:
Rims
tires
centercaps
them to be put on, mounted and balanced
Is this everything i need or is there something else i need. Thanks for all your input.
I've heard of tuner lugs and some other crap but didn't know if i needed it.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Definitely consider tuner lugs or even McGard Spline Drive lugs... Also, make sure they tell you when to come back for a re-torque. Generally between 35 - 75 mi..

The wheels you bought should have lugs with them. Depending on the wheel, would determine what style lug you'll have. You don't want your everyday run-of-the-mill lugs, you won't have your wheels very long.
You should be all set.

ya you may or may not need tuner lugs, it depends on the wheels...
also, you might want to try and get hubrings..
where are you buying it from? i like to buy wheels from local shops so if i have any problems, i could just take it back to them. my steering wheel was shaking so they threw in hub rings, balanced it 2-3 times, finally gave up and gave me few bucks to take it elsewhere... if i bought the wheels online, i would probably have had to buy my own hub rings and pay for a balancing job till it was done right..

if you want chrome valve stems you need them put on before they mount the tires too. they also have the flush mounted valve stems that look tight as hell. but again, need to be put on before the tire is mounted, obviously. so if you want them, gotta let them know ahead of time.
