You will need wheel balancing to make sure your new wheels are balanced, it's worth the $$$.
You need alignment whenever you do suspension changes. Hmm, I'm not sure if you change rims, but I'm going to get yes?
Sorry, I dunno.

Anyway, I paid $49 for my alignment yesterday. Just do it, since you'll probably pay over $500 for the new tires. The rears are bound to be within spec. What may happen is your toe will be slightly off. Just ask for the printout and you'll see what I mean. It's kinda interesting how the left is set more positively than the right due to the crowns in the roads, but before the adjustment my left was less than the right though the overall was within spec........all I have left to say is LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!!!!!!

yeah man..the 5 spoke design is kind of played out IMO..no offense or anything..your RIMS look HOT on your car. ive always like the 6 spoked design thinking the 7 or 8 spoke look better on smaller import cars like civics and integras. and the rivets around the side, even though it makes the rim look smaller, i just love the look. lol so im happy
so im happy
