I've been there before, yeah I'll agree they suck ***** as well. If anyone is down south, I recommend "Sable Chase Tire/Wheel Tec." They have everything and do it right.

As for got wheels and tires, I paid them to road force balance my wheels... forked up $125. Still didn't get it fixed, had to go to another place. I was referred to them by a wheel owner of a company. Next time I know where to go... Sable Chase Tires.

Can't always be cheap... and dont go buying some used tires. The lower brand tires are BRAND NEW w/ warranty. YOU DRIVE ON THEM EVERYDAY... its not a front lip or some junk, its what moves and stops the car.

Sable Chase has been around for decades? They carry EVERYTHING you need, from spacers to lugs.

I didn't say anything about going there from what you said in your story. Some people just get unlucky like in your case. I haven't heard anything about them so I was taking a guess on the situation there. There are some non experienced people out there that do tires and rims. Keep to the known experienced guy to work on what you need worked on. If I have to bring it somewhere were I can't fix it I ask for the longest working employee. You must know this already ,but I just had to add that in. If you want to get crazy take pictures of your rims so you have a visual proof. Do it at your own risk all I can say.

Miami Chassis does a great job with that. I've heard tons of feedback, but haven't taken my car to them. When and if I need to shave (not rolling) I'll bring out my grinder and get to work. Did it to my Civic back then, pretty simple work.
