Default new wheels!

I just bought some new ponies for my car, is there anything special i should do when i put them on? because they are aluminum? do i need special lug nuts to keep them on?

Balanced, mounted and maybe consider an alignment. Just the regular stuff.
No special lugs.

alright good, i got them on and i figured out one leaks.. i narrowed it down to the bead on the inside of the wheel is a little flat where it should be round.. i am gonna bring it somewhere and see what they can do about it

so i brought to my cousins uncle that works at a tire shop, and he just threw some bead sealer on it, and i got home and put it on, and its held air since then..

man i love these wheels, the tires i got on there are better on the ice than my other ones were, so it really worked out..

He also said he could get me new springs in the back for $70, and struts in the front for$100.. he said he would help me put them in, in his shop, and charge me the price of the parts.. is that a good deal? should i take him up on it?
