yeah you need to balance the wheels i think it costs like $30 or something but you shouldnt drive around that long without having them balanced

Depends....the rims should be balanced already, it's the tires you need to worry about, but they come as a package, and should be already balanced I don't really understand what you're asking....are you putting new tires on your rims, or are you putting a rim/tire package on your car?

You should always change tires in pairs at the very least.

The wheels/tires will get balanced at the shop when the tires are replaced, and it may or may not be included in the price of the tire, you will need to ask them.

No you don't, unless they have been sitting for a loooong time. Just throw them on, and if there is an immediate highway speed vibration, then have them balanced.
