Whats up. I drive a 97 Honda Civic Ex. I just bought some aftermarket 17" Enkei Rims on Kumho tires. I have a buddy that works at a tire shop however he's out of town - so I'll pose this question to y'all. Is there any special way to put aftermarket wheels on your car? I think I remember him telling me it's a little different than regular ones. I have them mounted & balanced - all ready to go... just wanted to make sure I don't **** something up. Thanks!

 

there is an arrow on the tires that shows which way the tires are supposed to roll.....just make sure tehyre goin in the right direction......then mount and enjoy!

 

what pcupo12 said and you might want to do alignment

 

hey thanks. also, anyone know of any good locks for your wheels. i got the ones at whalentire.com where i ordered them (1 per wheel) but any thoughts on getting more than one??

 

jus a bit of advice from someone that experienced it you might want a lock on all 4 lugs

 

yeah, ive got two differnet brand of locks on mine.

 

any suggestions on brands? websites?

 

ebay. gorilla is good, though its not usually driven by the same size socket as the lugnuts, which is kind of a pain.

 

ya but u kno ur wheels will always be there lol.

 

you might want to torque the wheels to spec. to make sure you dont warp your rotors/wheels. i like to torque them by hand ever sence i broke the socket useing an impact gun.
