I got my konig's from discount tire and they never put hubcentric spacers on. I ran the wheels for a whole summer last year with wobbling issues even after taking it back to them 2 times to have them looked at. They said it's just normal because it's low profile. It's a 18x9 running 235-40r18's. Of course this spring I realize that there were no hubcentric spacers when switching from my winter wheels. Now with spacers, it's perfection!
Thank you for the info should have all the rims been placed on the same way so when they rotate they all look the same direction? Your channel for a women is a lot of help I have told my son to subscribe also. Appreciate you
No problem at all, we're always here to help - that's why we make these videos! In terms of installing them with them all facing the same direction, that would only last for a mile or two because it's regular for your wheels to turn at slightly different rates at times. The only way to make this happen would be weighted "leveling" center caps.
I’m new to your channel can you help me with this question: I had my rims replaced to Lincoln wheels rims but they installed and when I park the name isn’t upright. Should I be able to see the name Lincoln upright on all the rims when my car is parked? If so how can I do that? Im a women so I know it sounds crazy. Thanks
It's completely normal. Your wheels have center caps in the center of the wheel with the Lincoln logo on them. Those center caps are mounted to the wheel in a fixed position - so when your wheels rotate, the logo rotates with it. In some cases, people can install self-leveling weighted center caps. If you ever need any help about wheels, we make tons of videos like this on our channel.
I guess you could, although really what you need to ensure is that the wheels are chocked so the car doesn't roll. If you're jacking up the car, chock the wheels and you'll be good to go.
I see so many people using a torque wrench wrong. You're supposed to go slow and stop tightening the moment it clicks, not continue for another 5-10+ degrees of rotation past the click like the gentleman in the video. This throws the torque spec out the window.
You realise that the torque specs is just a reference, right ? The actual torque specs could be, for example, "70ft/lbs" +/- 10ft/lbs. And guess what average torque wrench aren't that precise to begging with. So you're already off wether you want it or not. Going 5 deg over won't destroy your wheels and lug nut/bots. You're not even close to permanent deformation. On the other end, shops that just send it with their impacts are a problem.
Hey Austin, check out the video about Hubrings on our channel. Also there are few other videos about hubrings we've done. If your wheel is not hubcentric, yes.
@@konigwheels wow bruh. You make a video that mystifies this simple procedure even more for a novice. It's a simple explanation and you just say go watch another video? This video is not helpful and just raises more questions for people that don't what they're doing which is probly everyone watching.
Dealer rotated my wheels 2 days ago at the 12 month service and damaged 3 of the 4 wheels. About 7 impact dents on each wheel. $1,600 each wheel to replace so now let’s see what the outcome is. Bloody incompetent mechanic. You could blindfold me and tie one hand behind my back and I could still do a better job than them.
I will continue supporting this brand, Still surprised with the wheel quality. Thanks for supporting Banano's project.
Super appreciate you taking the time to send us this message! Means a lot!
Scott, my man, it’s almost summer and you still out here in Jeans and Timbs haha
That’s how you can tell he’s from New York lol
HAHA
He's modest
I just got a car and have pretty little knowledge so this helps thank you

Hubcentric rings, when you don't have them, can make a world of difference as far as vibration and comfort. Thanks for rolling with us!

Just one question, do you jeep handbrake on when changing the wheels?
I guess you could, although really what you need to ensure is that the wheels are chocked so the car doesn't roll. If you're jacking up the car, chock the wheels and you'll be good to go.
Watching this cuz ima trick the shit out my Chevy cobalt 😂❤
throw the countergrams on!! we wanna see them on a vehicle!!
Lol best part of the video was the kiddos

Just keep in mind that sometimes audio and video are not perfectly in sync. However, we totally agree with you.

The wheels ship with the tires?
If you order them with tires through your retailer of choice.

Can’t believe I’m here
But you are, and we appreciate you!
I have the lugnuts off but the tire wont come off
Hit the inside rubber with mallet. Watch your face.
Lightly kick the bottom of the tire and pull out
So.... I guess you don't need anti seiz lube on the bolts?
Never
You dont ever put anti seize on lug nuts/lug nuts ..
Tighten by hand, spin the wheel, tighten by hand.
Hopefully your not using the recalled stands
Nope. Those aren’t HF jack stands.
