Do you have aftermarket rims and live in 626?? HELP IF SO!

If you do!!! Where do you guys go to swap tires or get them mounted... I need a really experienced shop, and a very careful one too! I've had really bad experiences with some shops and I really need to swap the tires tonight, the left one is threading and I don't want it to blow when I'm driving on the freeway tonight!!!!

Bad experiences include, them stripping my stud and lugnut, and rolling my rims together lip against lip which scuffed it a bit (this is a big pet peeve, pissed the fvck outta me). Help me guys I'm in dire need of help!!!!


Oh thanks mike for selling me your tires and letting me borrow an amber corner haha.

It's probably way too far from you but Status or F1 can do it and they are both very careful.

Well Technically... I can fit the two tires in my car, and drive to F1 since I'm going to head to L.A anyway... but that's only a last resort.. I have to drive slow because it's threading sick on the drive side, irresponsible me... ...

thanks hec!


anyone else got a clue?

west coast nissan might be a choice... but i would really like to watch as they do it, but assuming that it's in the back perhaps, i might not be able to watch which makes me uneasy.. lol

No way mang!! Dealers and wheels are not a good combo. They are used to handling stock wheels all day so they don't give a rat's a$$. I would stick to a shop that does aftermarket wheels. They know how to handle expensive wheels.

I too went to Americas Tires in Chino Hills. Like Tinman said, the manager (Steve) will mount the tires. Completely satisfied! Tell him Mike and Sean with the G's sent you.

damn chino's so far though!!!! i would go to kings discount in el monte but i would only go if this one giant hispanic dude worked on the rims, last time this tiny dude did it and he rolled my rims together which gave me that scuff which pretty much pissed me off. Also the prices always fluctuate, which makes me think... he should remember me.. but anyway keep em comming because i know im going to forget later down the road, and yea....



gonna call chris @f1 right now see if i have time to make it to him
