...unless you enjoy getting totally raped. I dropped my back tires and rims off yesterday,expecting to pay 45$ again just like my last 2 trips with 17" rims. I show up,it's $111!!!!! The guy's like-well that's what we charge for "ultra-high-performance" tire mounting and balance. So i ask why I only paid 45 the last 2 times,once with the 245's on 17x8's and then 275's on 17x9's. He says that I should have been charged more. I told the guy that I dropped them off with that they were 10.5" rims with like tires and if that was going to be a problem? He says no but neglects to mention the HUGE difference in price from my previous trips(made about 3 and 6 weeks previous). I talked to the manager about the situation but he just kept pointing to the sign on the wall that explains their rates and made no attempt to fix the problem. So I'm making it my business to tell EVERYONE about their terrible service. Pass the word.
 
Charging more for "ultra-high performance" wheels...WTF? That is such BS. Do they have like a gradient system for their pricing where it starts off at Geo Metro wheels and goes up to "Ultra-High Performance"? What exactly is the criteria when deciding if something is regular high-performance or ultra high-performance? Those guys sound like a bunch of assclowns. Thanks for the heads up, I will make sure to never take my business there.

Anything 18" and larger rim size or any tire 40 series or lower.
 
Where is a good place to get new tires installed and balanced? I don't mind paying a fair price, am more concerned about quality of the work done.
