Need help with new wheels
Hello all,
I just bought a set of cheap rims off of Craigslist (needed something decent and cheap while I save/figure out what I really want on the car). I got a set of Raceline 195's (http://www.racelinewheels.com/p-470-...ed-stripe.aspx) with 215/40/17 tires. I already know my speedo will be off slightly, however for $500 basically brand new, I feel like it is a good deal.
Do I need or should I get anything else for these rims prior to putting them on my car. It will likely be a month or two before I put them on as we have snow in upstate NY. **Also I have a new set of TRD springs that I am putting on at the same time, not sure if that matters.
I am a novice when it comes to wheels so any help is appreciated. Eventually looking to get a set of BBS CH-R's down the road (most likely next spring)
Thanks!

Make sure you have the correct style of wheel nuts for the rim. There is no info on what type you need in that link.
The other thing you need is hubcentric spacers to center the wheel to your car's hub properly.
