nice~! those are awesome wheels. what size did you get them in? how much are you paying to have tires mounted and balance? how far away are you from annapolis, md?

I paid $80 to have my winter tires mounted + balanced, but they scratched my wheels a bunch. I'm taking these tothis place in falls church that is guaranteed scratch-free, $23.99 each with mounting, balancing, and road-force testing. annapolis is about 45-60 minutes from me, likely.

oh i was gonna say. i could mount and road-force balance all 4 wheels for $80 as well. but you're a hike away :D anyways, congrats on the purchase...can't wait to see them on the whip~! make sure they use stick-on weights, cause it looks like some idiot could make a mistake and use hammer-ons on that outer lip.

I wasn't aware that 5Zigen made FN01R-C's with a polished lip. Oh well. It will still look awesome.

From the picture, it looks like the GN+ will take TPMS, but thats just my educated guess.
