   Hi i just swopped my furio steel wheels for vtr alloys. I was just wondering if this is a straight swap or will i need to balance the wheels or anything like that.
   
   I have another question 2 my back wheels are low on tread and i didnt relise it untill they were just about to go on. The guy said they have a few thousand on them so i put them to the rear of my car as they would last a bit longer. Would it be ok to buy a different 2 tyres for the back or should it be the same make.

   Should be a straight swap, unsure on the bolts tho, and the tyres are best on the back, get the ones with good tread on the front as the front is where the power and steering is, just be weary of the back end coming round

   yer i got the good ones on the front and lower tread on back. Got a wicked red furio with white vtr wheels now which looks pretty good. When getting 2 new tyres for the back is it best to get the same tyres or does it matter ?
