Wheel swap question

Z-WHIZ · 11-16-2009, 01:58 PM

Hey guys, a few weeks ago I curbed one of my rear rims. I've since bought a replacement wheel and I was going to take it to a local tire shop tomorrow to have it swapped in for the damaged wheel. Are there any special instructions I should give the tire shop? I know they have to be careful with the TPMS, but I'm curious if there's anything else I should let them know.

Ask them to hand-torque the lug nuts when they mount your wheels. I've had numerous bad experiences where they use the air wrenches set to "kill" when mounting. Should be about 80lb ft per lugnut.
