I picked up some BBS rims with tires during the week and was gonna put them on this weekend. I used to do all work on my previous used cars but for the past 5-7 years have had newer vehicles where all work was done at the dealership under warranty. Over the years I must have gotten rid/lost tools or let people borrow them since I couldn’t even find my floor jack. Had to run to harbor freight for a new jack and jack stands and then to Home Depot for a Milwaukee cordless impact. But after hundreds of dollars in new tools I was ready for a job Walmart would have charged me $55 for. Anyways I’m slowly getting the garage restocked and equipped so I’m ready for most things that will come up. Here’s some pics of the new shoes. Also if anybody’s interested in the take offs let me know.

I really like those wheels in combination with the body color :clap:

Hope you included a torque wrench in your new tool kit so you can accurately torque those lug nuts to the specified 97 ft•lbf (131 N•m, 13.4 kgf•m).

HTH
