Hi all,
I'm close to placing and order with my local Discount Tire that I've used for years, but I've never bought rims before.
I was going to get the Mazda M011 rims, but I don't want to have to coordinate another dealer with DT and went with rims/tires I can get from DT.
I've now decided on the:
MOMO REVENGE18 X8 5-114.30 40 DGMTXX in matte anthracite
with FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T TRAIL235 /60 R18 107H XL RBL
I am dropping down from my OEM 19" rims to the 18" Momo to gain a little more sidewall and the wider 235. I wanted to get the V rated tire, but it's not available in this size and I really don't think it matters, even for the Mazda warranty folks have talked about since the OEM tires are V rated, but crappy.
I know I can ask this question of my DT service person, but I would like to know going in.
1) Do I need to request the hub-centric spacers for the wheel install, or does DT do this automatically?
2) Also, do the center brand caps come with the wheels or do they need to be ordered with the wheels? Nobody mentions this, but I've read some reviews of other rims where the owner said that they didn't come with the wheels.
Edit: I used the wrong term for hub-centric spacers. Just corrected.
Thanks,
Jim
