Default WOW this is bad, so i had them switch the wheels on at this gas station, and i gave them all the

aftermarket hardware, and they didnt use it! There are no centering rings on there, and they used the ball seat bolts! WTF this at least explains the shaking.......

btw im off at school so dont rail me for not switching it, cuz i dont have the bolts.

Those are not OEM lugs and that centering ring does not go with an OEM S4 wheel
