yeah...star pattern to torque them down.....it pretty easy...im just wondering if the car will still be off balance. They can just be put in, without the clip that held them in right? or should i put in the clip tooo?

some pics from the night.....u can see my new rims.

after this post, and talking to manny (presure2) i decided that it would be worth a shot to install the rings myself...............2 hours later...done! took it for a drive, hit some back roads...60 then 70 no shake...so i pushed it further 80....90 no shake....i hit 100 no shake..then got off the gas let go of the wheel and coasted....no shake...all better.

Thanks guys for all the help. Pics are in GD under Hudson River Shoot.

Edit: Right after posting this, i went to work, and it shook bad! Angry.

ok so finally everything is done, the car drives like a dream, i had to take it to another place and get the rims balance. Now i have to go yell at sears for my $50 back that they charged me to balance them.

But i love it, sooo nice. Ill get some more pics of just my car as soon as i can.

Edit:

Mille Miglia HT3 Rims x 4 = $447 on atm card
Falken Zeix ze 512 tires x 4 (with stems and balancing) = $611 on atm card
Sportline Springs = $300 on atm card
Various labor charges = $1000+ (est) half on atm card, half cash
Taking it for a test drive and having to get the tires rebalanced somewhere else = $39 cash
Finally having this tire and rim ordeal over, a month after it started = Priceless

Somethings money can't buy, for everything else, charge it and worry about the payments till later

For mounting tires and balancing and installing springs you payed over $1000. Sucks to be you.

It does, doesnt it.


I forgot that in that labor was 2 pieces that connects the swaybars to the struts, they cost me $105 each

Makes me happy I know how to install my own suspension.

tried to get it done b4 csp...big mistake, and i ran into issues and stuff. oh well im happy now

You post pics yet???

no newer up to date ones, but heres ones from a while back, when i had them on, and it still shook.

What size tires are you running? How are you liking the ZIEX 512?

225/45/17's and i love them....my old stockers i could break the tires loose from the roadway...these 8" wide ones are hard to do....actually impossible to. (thats a lie, i did it last night, but the road was wet, and i stomped the gas from a dead stop to see if i could brake them loose, and i did, but only for a second, then they grabbed hard.)

(again i only have a stock 5sfe)
