I've got new nuts!

It is actually not that exciting, but decided to change the dodgy looking BBS chrome nuts to the McGard black.

Just want to check if I am supposed to jack up the car to change them over? Or am I able to replace them one at a time without jacking the car up?

Many thanks.

Well, without the nuts they won't be complete. Can't send them down without its nuts.

Once the OEM tyres wear out, you should try some PSS. Even new, they have better grip than the PS2s. I do find them a bit noisier than PS2s though. Didn't have the turn in problem, but that's probably due to the new wheels.

One at a time will be fine Steve. Just make sure they're torqued to 90ftlbs/120Nm.
