trainwreck

sorry for the n00b questions, i am new to this car ownership thing.

rhayward

first question? do have any money
second question? do you care if your rims get jacked up
third question? if you answered yes to all then be prepared to pay 80-150.00 for the job

places to go

americas tires on bascom

chervon in milbare on elcamino real

both good shops.


fourth question? if you asnwered NO to both then take it to the hill billy at the corner gas station for the 50.00 deal

Where did you get your tires put on? I would think they'd balance them after mounting the tires. But double check, because you'll need the tires balanced. IF you just need to swap stock wheels with aftermarket wheels, any of us can help you out for free.

do it yourself. save yourself 20 bux.

okay i am kinda confused. free or $20 bux vs $80-150 so let me start over. I just bought my car, it has less than 4,000 miles on it. I will be purchasing after market rims /w tires (the white dc5-r as advertised in the for sale section) friday night at the meet from kevin.

I dont mind spending money on having it done correctly, but wut is involved? seems like a all i need to do is swap the wheels w/ tires already mounted correct? or do i have to get the wheels balanced everytime i swap them?

i was hoping to swap the stock wheels with after market wheels every few months to change things up. however, if its gonna cost me 150 each time, i have some things to think about.

thanks for the help

if the wheels have tires on them, i dont see why you cant just put the wheels on yourself? if you feel that you need one, get an alignment/balance afterward?

trainwreck

i dont have the tools.

what tools do you think you need to put rims on?

You can do it with your stock jack...... for free.... just learn so you don't have to pay someone to do it.
