please do not go to costco or walmart to mount tires on your expensive 19" wheels
i'd be surprised if they even had the equipment to attempt such a thing.

seriously ppl quit being so motherfucking cheap, my god
those who are rocking rotas, ya get it mounted anywhere as if it matters
but those who have $4000 +++ a set of rims, seriously pay the correct amount of money and get it mounted right.
the labor, shops time, good tire mounting machine costs $20g +, material etc.
people are so cheap these days

I know they are expensive rims and trust me if I could I'd pay whatever the cost to get them properly installed, balanced, etc. However I just got them taken off my all seasons, had my oems taken off my winters and then placed back into summers. All of it costing over 300$ only to not be put in a situation where I have to do it all over again. I'm just trying to save a bit of money, and yes I know when you have 4000$ rims and 70K car it's stupid to be thinking about saving money. Thank you for everyone that replied to the thread.

I recommend the speed syndicate because they handled my rims very well and are down to earth guys. Great experience there and have been going to them more than 4 times already.

Thank you for everyone that replied to the thread. | 150 a set is already a pretty fair price for 19s. if you save an extra 20-30 by taking it somewhere cheaper, thats not really worth scratching a $1000 rim is all im saying.

I just started doing tires about 6 months ago and can dismount/mount new low profile tires on my 15's and balance in about 45 minutes. And I'm not even that good.

what do u consider low profile?
try doing 35 series runflats... eg a 285/35/20 RUN FLATS... you will want to cry!
or 285/25/20 regular tires, however on an aftermarket 20x11... you will want to cry!

I've had good experience with National Tire Wholesale in Burnaby. $20/ wheel and I was mounting on 19s. Been there several times.
