IM getting HOTSWAPS!

i know alot of people are not a fan of these rims..i personally think they look okay..not over the top about them..but discounttire.com has a sick deal for the 17 inch ones.

81 bucks a rim minus 60 dollars online instant savings..+free shipping.

works out to be like 260 bucks + a 45 dollar install kit.

my question is..do i really need the install kit..comes with lugs and stuff..but will my stock lugs not work also??

Your stock lugs won't work. You need "tuner lugs" for most aftermarket wheels.
