I just bought new wheels from tirerack.com as one of my wheel got damaged by a tire shop while repairing a flat they send out the wheel do be redone but to me I will always know that it got repainted and that will bug me LOLL. So enough about that and here's the new wheel

Ok here it is. it's only a quick shot from in my driveway as the weather as not been nice this week and I'm waiting for better time to wash the outie and do a little photoshoot.

Just make sure the tyre shop use stick on weights when balancing them and not the side one used for steel wheels otherwise they will mark your new alloy wheels

Make sure the used a combination of flange weights on the inside and stick on weights right behind the spokes.  This is the only way to dynamically balance the tires and wheels.  Inside flange weights only will only be statically balanced and you could still get a shake in the steering wheel at certain speeds.

I went to a professional Tire shop In my area that are use to work on High end car whit expensive wheels they did a really good job with the install and the balancing of my wheels.

here's a sneak peak picture of the wheels since my outlander is all dirty. I will take more picture of the outie with the wheel when it's all wash and shiny
