Absolutely! Always double-check your jack’s stability before getting underneath. A good rule of thumb is to shake the car a bit to ensure it’s secure. Safety is key!
That’s a smart tip! I can picture myself shaking the car, haha! Any other safety practices?

Never work on your car by yourself! If something goes wrong, you’ll want someone nearby. And wear gloves to keep your hands clean and protected from sharp edges.

What if I end up being that one friend who pulls a prank while I’m under the car? Do you all think it’s really a good idea to be alone? 
That made me laugh! Seriously, though, it’s better safe than sorry!
To add to this, make sure you have a reliable jack! A cheap one can be a dangerous investment. I learned that the hard way!
This is such a helpful thread! I had no idea what to look for regarding wheels. Is there a particular brand you all recommend?

I’ve had good luck with Enkei wheels. They provide a great blend of quality and style! Anyone else have recommendations?
Enkei sounds great! I’m loving the idea of a stylish upgrade. Are all the tools I mentioned really necessary for installation?
Yes, especially if you’re looking for a clean and safe install. It might seem like overkill, but each tool serves a purpose! Just follow the guide.
