Heya, I'm about to purchase Motegi MR7 - 18" x 7.5" - 45 - 4/100 & 4/114.3 and it says I might need an Installation kit, if so, which one would it be?

Here's the url to the wheels

I was involved in a car accident a while back and I fixed the body but the rear right wheel is just my spare wheel because the other one got bent outta shape. Can someone please answer my question? I just need to know cause it sucks driving my car like that, plus I dont know if I need the installation kit.

you shouldnt need any kind of installation kit...i wonder whats in it. im assuming the wheels will come mounted and balanced with tires, and as long as they include the valve stems and lugs, you should be fine..

This is what I get when I try to purchase 'em:

Please Note: These wheels require tuner style nuts/bolts and socket lug nus/bolts for installation. We offer an installation kit that contains nuts/bolts, hub rings and valve stems

Thats what I was gonna say!

tuner lugs and chrome valve stems can be purchased at your local wheel shop...$30-45 for lugs, chrome valve stems are pretty cheap maybe $2ea. or less, you won't need hub centric rings unless you feel vibration in the steering wheel at high speeds after they rims are installed and those are cheap too around $10.

you will probalby only need tuner lugs for install
