check for these things

do u have hubcentric rings?

wut are hubcentric rings

[krayze]

also check your tire direction most tires for our cars ae unidirectional. so if one wheel is set to rotate towards the front and the other to the back . there is an arrow on the sidewall for rotation

It's a ring that fits on the back side of the wheel. It helps to center the wheel onto the hub of the car.

where can i get a hubcentric ring

[cftofu2k]

usually any tire/wheel shop. im getting mines through autoplus. they are H&R straight from Germany. Although its taking quite a while for them to arrive. make sure you get the aluminum ones and not the plastic, cause they will crack. aluminum go for $8 a pair usually. you should call the manufacturer or company that you bought the wheel from and ask if you may need it and also the size of the rings that you need.

Easy to install. Just remove the wheel from the car, push the hubcentric ring all the way in on the back side of the wheel and remount the wheel.
