Wheels/Tires Options

[elvasoshexai]

er.. ok sorry if this is kinda confusing/stupid what i'm trying to ask, but i've never bought wheels/tires online or separately before... usually i get everything installed at once at local places...

i was looking at a site and they said that if you buy tires + wheels together you get:

-the mount and computer wheel balance of the tires
-an installation kit which includes wheel nuts (or bolts), valve stems (installed with tires), and hub centering rings (when necessary and available).

they say if u just buy wheels or tires, u could pay extra for their installation kit...

they said the installation kit can be saving of up to $200... are those 3 items really worth up to $200??

ok, so i'm assuming the wheel nuts they include i could just get them at toyota... i need like.. 20 of them right?
valve stem... er... is it that thing that sticks out that u pump air into? so are they saying i have to put that into the tire?

and do i actually need the hub centering thing? i have no clue what it is... is it the same as the center cap that some wheels come with?

I don't know if there is any differece between Canada and CZ , but this is my solution. I suppose that you have same standard rims as I have -> 100x5/54.:

So If you buy rims 100x5/65 you will need hub centering rings to make your rims to standard (54) -> hub centering rings are necessary buy with rims.

Nuts you can buy anywhere (it's up to you buy some special ($90) or common ($40)) -> nuts are your choice where to buy

Situation about valve stems is the same as about nuts. It's up to you buy some common (rubber, price about $5) or some specilal (made of some metal, price about $15-$20) -> tyre valves are your choice where to buy

I hope that help
