Volks Just Arrived, Need Help ASAP for Mounting and Balancing

Guys,

My Volks just came in and I need a place to get them mounted, balanced and TPMS sensors switched over. Do ya'll recommend anyone? Also, my Rays lugnuts were the wrong size, so i had to send them back, should be getting the right sized ones tomorrow. Do ya'll think the stock lugs will work ok with the volks for now until I get my Rays lugs in?

Don't use the stock lugs.

And PM/call Laramie. I think Nahn (bimmertech) might do tires too.

because they aren't cool enough lol.

Do the volks take a flat ended or self centering lug? The stockers are self centering and might mess up the new wheels lug holes.

Stock lugs wont fit. The head of the stock lugs are different then, TUNER lug nuts. they FAT. and wont sit flush.

always use a torque wrench. never an impact wrench.

Well I just checked the stock lugs and they DO NOT FIT with the volks, SIKEVO9 you are correct. So I gues I will to wait till tomorrow when the rays lug nuts come in.

Also, I just installed an AMS polished intake, and an AMS UICP. Can't wait to get the wheels on to complete the transformation.

The vendor sent me 12x1.25 sized lugs and the EVO X takes 12x1.5 sized lugs, as for the stock lugs, the head is to large for the lug to sit inside the lug holes
