    Self Installing New Wheels and Mounted Tires

    I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm posting pics showing an arrow of what I guess is the clip that you said to remove on each wheel? I take it the second pic shows the balance weights and of course I leave those alone. I'm used to seeing the old style weights that were hammered onto the rim edge.

    Fine. My neighbor has teeth like the guy below. I'll have him tighten the bolts with his 'torque wrench' teeth. Period!

    Self Installing New Wheels and Mounted Tires

    All I have is the wrench that came with car (and I guess wheels). Isn't making sure the wheels are fully raised, flushed and tightened completely good enough?

    Car Insurance does not include custom wheels?

    Yeah, I'll ask Unitrin Insurance if I should use seat covers. They may charge me extra if I start ripping major arse in my seat. Or maybe that's covered? I can't wait until Insurance companies can no longer charge you more for coverage just because of your zip code. My neighborhood is faily...

    Car Insurance does not include custom wheels?

    My insurance, Unitrin, says I have to pay $100 a year to insure my non-stock wheels. I thought car insurance covers your car completely or is it everytime you add a custom screw, the scum bag insurance companies will charge you more?

    Self Installing New Wheels and Mounted Tires

    Thank you LV51FER Yes the wheels are prebalanced and they are directional. I was told when I remove the stock wheels to look for 'stock rings' around the studs and to remove them with a screw driver or plyers. I guess these are the 'little clips' that you mentioned?

    Self Installing New Wheels and Mounted Tires

    I expect my new shipped 19" wheels with 255/35 f, 285/40 r mounted tires tomorrow. I thought about putting them on before driving to a weekend trip 200 miles away, but I'm concerned something might happen with the setup. Generally do you just put them on and not worry or do you look out for...

    Can someone post Non-Bling-Bling Pics of their 19" 5 spoke wheels on a GTs?

    Sure, I'll buy them, but first, I'll need your credit card number. And don't forget the expiration date and three digit code too, Bocó! Here's my cut/paste like yours, but I'd really like to see the 'genuine' hypersilver article as noted on an 05/06 if anyone has one. It will show how the...

    Can someone post Non-Bling-Bling Pics of their 19" 5 spoke wheels on a GTs?

    Can someone post pictures of their 05-06 Mustang GT with 19" Hyper Silver or silver wheels (non-chrome, non-oem, non-bullet)? I know, Picky, Picky. A side view like the attached showing front and back wheels..please. I'm getting light flashes in my vision from seeing all the Bling Bling...

    Anyone have 19" HP Racing Onyx Silver pics of the wheels on their car they can post?

    I only have found artists drawings from HP racing and other and no geniune pictures of this rim. Would be great to see it on a 05/06 Mustang. I was told that the rim has no LIP and will sit about an inch and a half in from the fender in the rear and it will look weird. ??? Thanks!

    Ruff Racing 278 Silver Wheels on a 2005 Mustang (GT)

    My babbling continues.. Can't get the 278 in the rear size rims I want, so I think I'm going with the forged CCW 505a. They have to be customed made for $2500 for 4 wheels. Brushed finish. 505a are originally for Corvette. Here they are on a GTO, 20"s wheels:
