i just brought some rim and tires. they are said to be balanced. how do i check if they really are balanced? if so, how do i install them in my car, just plug in play as if it is a donut(spare tire)? no need for special equipment? when yall replace your rim and tire, did yall do a DIY or went to a tire shop to do it?

also, my friend is looking for dental hygienist school in DC MD VA anyone knows any?

There should be magnets placed on the inside of the rim. If you want to save time just take it to a local shop. It's easy to install. Usually when you buy rims the shop includes mounting and balancing.

You are asking how to put wheels on?

To check to se if they are balanced take it to a wheel shop and ask them to balance them for you. Why you are they may as well have them install them too.

ok i found some metallic things inside the rim those maybe the magnets. however they are not similar in amount, i.e. one rim got 5 magnets one got 7 etc. do they mean anything? also are these rims just plug in play, just use a jack and install it like a donut? i brought these from the internet so i cannot ask them to install it for me. does the 01 lugs fit when i put 04 EX wheels on?

Dude if you have to ask if you have to use a jack to put a wheel on, maybe you should get someone to do it for you.

it's been said already, but take it to a shop/garage

I only plan on using the spare jack for emergencies only... I don't fully trust it

You'll most likely need 'tuner lugs' because the oem lugnuts are stubby & and too fat to fit in most rim sockets. A good shop will have at least one set for you to buy
EDIT: oh lol you're putting on EX rims. Nevermind then, I'm sure that the oem lug nuts are what those use too. But to be safe, get a set of lock-lugnuts since EX rims are always in demand
