Wheels/Tires Options

[elvasoshexai]

er.. ok sorry if this is kinda confusing/stupid what i'm trying to ask, but i've never bought wheels/tires online or separately before... usually i get everything installed at once at local places...

i was looking at a site and they said that if you buy tires + wheels together you get:

-the mount and computer wheel balance of the tires
-an installation kit which includes wheel nuts (or bolts), valve stems (installed with tires), and hub centering rings (when necessary and available).

they say if u just buy wheels or tires, u could pay extra for their installation kit...

they said the installation kit can be saving of up to $200... are those 3 items really worth up to $200??

ok, so i'm assuming the wheel nuts they include i could just get them at toyota... i need like.. 20 of them right?
valve stem... er... is it that thing that sticks out that u pump air into? so are they saying i have to put that into the tire?

and do i actually need the hub centering thing? i have no clue what it is... is it the same as the center cap that some wheels come with?
