Just got my New wheels style 177s

I got these from wheels and caps on ebay. The finish is excellent and it would be hard to distinguish these from the oem wheels. I am very happy with them. Here are some pics. By the way should i have these wheels spun on a balance machine before I order tires for them? What do you think?

I had my replicas spun before putting on the tires and would recommend the same. Photos look great!

Thanks.

By the way when you get them spun do they actually add weights and balance them with no tires. Or should they be completely balanced and not need any wieghts with no tires installed. Im not sure how it would work.

When I got my 177's earlier this week I reported I had 2 that had some sort of defect, small, but noticable. Well I have to say the Wheels and Caps stepped up big time, sent new ones overnight and these are as good as those in the pics. I can't wait to put em on either but mine are for summer too.
