Don't worry... You will get help for sure about this! There are dozens of people here who have installed their SB. I haven't though because I don't have one.

What comes to your new rims... It depends a lot of the offset the rims!

I tried to install mine today, but the factory wire is too short i can't flip the whole pedal. I'm afraid i'll break the factory wire by pulling it too hard. Maybe you have the solution. looking foward for your "step by step" pictures.

Note that on our cars, there's no hole to push the wire into to hide it like the instructions above suggests.

Also, make sure you're aligning the curved side of the plugs with the curve side of the receptacles.

+1 because if you don't, there's a good chance you could damage the pins.
