I think you're a novice driver, you need a special machine to install the rims and tires and then correctly balance them, any professional tire shop will do that, for a fee of course...

Really depends where you obtain these rims. If you order them online some will come as a tire/rim package which will be balanced i assume. All you would need to do is jack up your car and replace the stock rims with your new ones. If you're unable to do this yourself you can take it to a tire shop and they will do it for you for a fee. If you just order the rims alone you would need to go to a tire shop to have them install new tires on the rims. They will do the mounting and balancing there. Prices vary depending on the size of your rims and size of tires you want. You can also get tires/rims at most tire shops. Look around on the forums. Go to a tire shop and ask them about changing out your stock rims. They could give you some recommendations on what you can use and possibly carry what you want.
