Took the rims and tires to work yesterday and mounted and balanced them. All 4 rims and tires balanced out extremely well with none of them even going 50% to the road force balance limit. The most weight I had to use was .50 ounces, meaning they balanced out extremely well.

Unfortunately the lug nuts are not yet here so I can't mount them to the car. Also an unfortunate turn of events - it just snowed like 3 inches here last night, so the rims won't be going on for at least a few days. They threw sand down thankfully and not salt, so it won't take as long to get everything cleared off. Most likely I'll be mounting them to the car at the end of the week since it's supposed to snow again Tuesday. Sucks because they're just sitting in the garage in a stack.

Cant wait to see these wheels. I have thought about getting the same ones forever.

They look extremely nice and I think will look amazing on the car. I found out the lug nuts did come in yesterday, just that I forgot to check the mail. We went with the black closed ended Muteki lug nuts, so they should mesh with the center caps very well. I may end up putting the rims on sooner since almost all of the snow melted today and the roads ended up being pretty dry. Maybe I'll put them on Tuesday since I'm going to be working all night on my Civic tomorrow to get it running again.
