Yea, tire rack balanced them before they shipped, I'm not sure it something moved or what during shipping but I'm going to have them re-balanced at my best friends fathers shop tomorrow.

ooh!! i would have personally gone with the middle pair that you originally posted but the ones you got look fantastic on the car!! i think you made the right choice. the color looks really good, did you paint them or is that the red that they came in? looks great!!

Monte looks great with the new shoes man.

Its possible that the new wheels kicked a weight and knocked the balance off.

Jamie!! Great to see you back on line.

That's the red they came in, i was shocked on how well it matched the car. When i get a nice day and some free time im going to be painting the calipers red, so at that point depending on the looks i might switch to one of the other inserts.

is it possible to get more inserts? i know they come in a few color variations but what if you wanted to do some crazy colors, could you buy blank sets? and how do they change out, if you want to change them??

there is two screws on each one, it comes with an allen wrench for the screws. I just took a quick look for different color inserts but i could not find any, they would be easy enough to paint any color though. Some sanding, paint and a clear would do a nice job on them. Each rim comes with its own box of inserts so i have one set of each color and about a million of the screws they give you.
