Now I'm looking for a shop in Maryland to mount and balance them. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I'm located in Pasadena so anywhere near there would be awesome.

Can you say hook and go? Looking forward to seeing some 60' results on those. Good luck and have some fun!

I have the racestars they are a pia to put on the car. Once on they are fine. GL.

They have a plastic ring you need to check that its attached to the wheel, and also uses washers to center the lugs. Lugs do deform when you use too much force, and then ya gotta buy new ones. Watch out for too much torque on lug nuts.

The thing you need to make very sure of is the lug nuts are drilled straight and centered. Visually inspect each lug and make sure the threads are centered in each lug body (equal area around the sides). Hope that makes sense, if not I have some randoms laying around I can take pictures of.

If you don’t do this, not only will the lugs go on hard, you will most likely strip a stud or break one off when trying to remove the lug. This is the issue people have with racestar wheels most often.

I had to buy 2 sets of 10 lugs to find enough lugs I was happy with to put the rears on and the same can be said for the fronts.
