Wheel/Tire Mounting

Alright fellas, new summer setup is going to go on soon here as the weather is nice again. Problem is I need a place I can trust to mount my tires without messing up my wheels. I normally get this done at NTB because my OEMs were already curbed from the prev owner and my winters are well 17s and easy to mount without issue...

So any recommendations for a worthy place you guys go to have your crap mounted? I was thinking IPS or Slowmo if they have the proper equipment. Somehow my lips are still flawless and I'd like to keep them that way.

Dal, Ben, J, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, and everyone else, any suggestions?

Oh, haha I thought I told you at some point. You've been MIA, I've been MIA...whatever.
I got Volk CE28s like I was planning, except I got them in formula silver w/ diamond cut lip instead of bronze. They'll be paired up with some Hankook v12s most likely and some McGard black splinedrive lugs.
copy pasta from "Look what I got today" thread...

They just got their final wash and clay bar today. I will be putting a few/many coats of sealant on them for use and then when tires and then mount time. I'll be gone this weekend so I'll probably have to mount them next week/weekend in time for a meet if we choose to have one.

Ive gotten 3 or 4 set done a discount here in GC. They even did my last set I bought for the 37 that had to be sent back because of the powder coat. As a matter of fact they were mounting when we found the problem.

And they haven't F'ed your lip up? I'm very wary of the local chain stores...I don't want some stoner ruining my wheels. I'd gladly pay a little extra to have it done properly

You won't find any stoners at Discount Tire. They know what they are doing.
