    simple indeed.
    you will need a jack and a tyre socket/wrench
    unlosen bolts when the car is down on the floor. jack the car up and unlosen the bolts right off, take the wheel off put new one on , put screws on as tight as u can with ya fingers, put the car down the use you leg to tighten futher. when tighting, tighten one nut all the way then tighten the nut that is opposite to the one u did.

    Don't roll guards yourself, you'll break something :P YOu likely won't neet do anyway,, VTSS are only 17x8.

    Yeh, the above guide for changing wheels,, jacking points are just behind front wheels and just infront? of rear wheels... you'll feel a solid chunk under the car...

    If you've only got 400-500 and you're trying to get rubber with it as well...good luck.

    The rims alone would be worth about that, for a good condition set. The rubber (for GOOD rubber) is going to worth about that again.

    Nah mate... I was looking at them myself a few months back...

    wheels alone for $4-500 but yeah same again for new rubber...

    You might be able to get some cheap 16's for that money.... but not a nice set of 17's like the VTSS... sorry mate.

    If your buying them from a wreckers don't forget to check for damage and get them balanced because they could be completely fckd and be waste of money.

    btw i got a set of ROH RT (16") with almost full tread on rubber (GIII Potenza's!!) with nuts and locknuts for $325. how goods that!
