I've heard stories where one or two wheels wasn't balanced quite right, but it only costs like...$10 to take it to a shop and get it balanced.

My set was perfectly balanced though, so it was probably a new guy on a bad day or something.

Pretty much. Just check the tire pressure too, since that can fluctuate during shipping.

but i have one question. I can use my stock lugs cant I?
Ummm...maybe. Your new rim might need conical lug nuts.

My set came with new nuts, but I used McGard's.

Your's should come with new nuts too, so don't stress it.

DO NOT use stock lug nuts on aftermarket wheels. the lugs will NOT seat properly. tuner wheels need conical lugs-> \_/. the stock ones are rounded at the bottom. likewise, you should NOT use tuner lugs on stock wheels. don't let people tell you they will be good enough, it is dangerous.

edit: WTF does the title of this thread have to do with your question? are you ordering everything from them? did they tell you you can use stock lugs on aftermarket wheels? if they told you that then they are not good guys...

My brother got some a Borbet Rim/Tire package from them. They're really good with their stuff - don't worry about which lugnuts you'll need, because they send you all of the parts required to put your new wheels on.

If it needs new lugnuts, they'll send 'em with the rims.

I just placed an order with this company for a set of tires. I'll let you know how long the waiting process is when I get my order.

I had absolutely no problems from http://www.tirerack.com

My wheels and tires made it to my house in 2 days after I ordered them. No scratches and everything was mounted and balanced perfectly. My SSR center caps were on back order and they shipped me out a set as soon as they had them stocked.

About a month later I blew out the side wall on my Khumo (sharp rock) and they next day'd me a replacement for half off their price even though my tire warrenty didnt cover the accident.
