if u looks closely there is a plastic pin that goes into a locator hole.
its a bitch to get in but that will fix ur problem.

dont buy nankang, they are cheap crappy tyre, and not so good in the wet... Best off getting kumho's that most members run

I agree with Marc, the Nankangs are rubbish, they lock up on mums car really easily because she doesn't have ABS

cluster looks good how much does it cost for a cluster? might give it a go if it's not too hard , although looks like there are some pretty bad hotspots from the photos
Where abouts did you mount your HID ballasts? Mine should be here soon and couldn't work out where to put them haha |

i found a cluster on ebay for $20 was a bargin!
the best method of fulling the needles off is using 2 spoons works amazingly! This is where i put the ballasts might pray them black or blue to hide them better but i dont know.
