How much do you pay to get tires mounted and balanced? The cheapest I found was 45 per rim at Pepboys. I have 18" rims and tires that were shipped to me, now i have to pay another $200 to have them installed!?

Please give me some suggestions.

Go to Exact. I believe it is cheaper than that.

For that price, I'd rather go to Custom Alignment instead of PepBoys. I can't remember but it may not even be that much at CA.

Definitely Exact Motorsports in Milpitas. I've had my tires mounted and balanced for both cars by them. I think it cost around $20/wheel, but I'm not sure, so don't quote me on that. However, I know it was cheaper than $45/wheel... I would've remembered if the price was so high.

Sweet thanks! I just called and was quoted $125 for everything. Looks like I'll have them on this weekend.

Make sure to tell them that ClubLexus referred you!

If I still worked there, I'd recommend Sears Auto, but I wouldn't trust anyone but myself with a nice set of rims.
The used to be a place in Millbrae called Abe's Customs but it sudenly disappeared and I lost Abe's #.

This Abe's Customs place sounds good. I live in Millbrae so it's much closer. Do you mean the store is gone or you just haven't heard from him? I still wanna go to Exact because I've heard so many good things and haven't had a need until now, but a trust worthy place in my hometown would be nice...

Whoaa $45?!?! Per wheel?!?!? Thats Bull Crunch!! My friend, I can try and get that done for you for free since you are a fellow CL member. I live in San Jose if you want to set up a date so we can get your stuff installed.

Fiya

Wow, free is a hard deal to pass up, but I feel bad because I already set up a date with Exact for the installation and to look over my car for future mods. Thank you for the offer

Yup! If anyone needs tires to be mounted and balanced just let me know. I can have Imports Cafe in San Jose pull some strings with the people with Just Tires.
