Okay, I know this is a total noobie question, and I feel like a total dumb-ass, but how the hell do I bolt these Race Star wheels on?

I have never used wheels that required cam washers before and I am screwing the wheels up. When I went to put my street wheels back on, I could see that the washers where not in any of the seats correctly and the wheels are now a tad scraped up. It as very hard to get the lugs off too.

So, let the flaming begin... As long as I get an answer how an easier and correct method, I would appreciate it.

Mark, aren't washers marked? My old Welds had a mark on them that lined up with a mark on the wheel as I recall. Pain in the ass, isn't it? Also, try tightening them up a bit in 12 or 6 oclock...

Good Lord yes they are a pain in the ass. LOL

The washers show are stamped "wheel side", which helps, but they do not seem to sit in the seats right.

Man, the guys at Race Star Industries are awesome. If you are thinking about getting these wheels from any of our vendors... I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I called Race Star and told them I was having problems mounting the wheels and wanted to buy some hub rings. They told me that the hub rings were not 100% needed and gave me guidance on the correct method to center the wheels up.

I told him that I was disabled and it's hard for me to manage the back wheels by myself, and I bought the rings anyway. Mike sent me all 4 rings for $10. He invited me to call anytime for support and thanked me for being a customer.

Excellent product, very friendly, not trying to milk every penny, great customer service... I'm impressed.
