Wheel Installation
 

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!

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

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.
