Status: offline 		I bought a Team Alignment Setup Station from Integy, which works awesome by the way, but for some reason I thought I needed setup wheels to go with the station, which is not the case. The setup pieces mount right to the hubs in place of any wheel.

Here are the setup wheels I got... but now I don't understand what they would be used for. Any insight?

Status: offline 		set up wheels basically are "straight" wheels to be used to measure track width, toe and camber.
you can go without these, just purchase new wheels and set aside for setup purposes.
the thing is, most wheels will not be 100% true after being used in a car especially after hitting curb or something hard

Status: offline 		Yeah set up wheels are for the set up devices that dont mount right onto the hubs, so you can get a true reading.
