CUSTOMER REVIEW
While the wheels are great and they arrived in time and were packaged securely, I was a little miffed (at myself, too) that they did not have installation equipment. It never occurred to me that wheels that needed special lug nuts would not a) come with said lug nuts or b) warn the consumer that stock lug nuts would not work on these.
I admit, as the buyer, it was my responsibility to check these things out, but I did not even think to do so, since I had never in my 30 years of driving run across the situation. I guess I have never purchased 'tuner' wheels before.
Anyway, Firestone did not have any tuner lug nuts to sell me and Advance wanted about forty bucks just for one wheel's worth. I can get them for much cheaper here at Amazon so I just had them put the old tires and wheels back on and I will drive around with new wheels and tires in my trunk until the new lugs arrive.
It was brought to my attention that there are places which will sell the tires and wheels as a set, mounted, balanced, and with installation equipment included, for probably cheaper than what I will end up paying by parceling out my business. AT the very least it would be less of a headache. Next time I will go to tire rack.
All that said, the wheels are still really nice.
