Yeah, you prolly need to take them to a shop if they're anything like mine were. To get the wheels centered you need a dishing tool or a good truing stand. One good thing about these wheels is that since the rear is a fixed/fixed flip/flop, they are completely symmetric and there is no dish, so the spoke tension is the same on both sides. Also, they include a special Park spoke wrench, which is needed to work on the internal spoke nipples that are inside the rim.
