Default Who Put On Your Wheels & Tires?

My staggered 19" Axis Hiros will be here by the end of the week, and my Toyo T1-Rs (245/35/19f; 275/35/19r) soon after.

Where should I go to have these mounted, balanced and blessed with holy water? Does AAM do wheel work?

Also (noob question), how does it work with the TPS stuff? Can that be transferred to these wheels? (If this is a dumb question, sorry!)

The job seems a bit beyond the reach of NTB or any of those monkeys, so I wondered where you guys got this kind of stuff done.

Thanks!

I goto www.radialtire.com best wheel handlers around. The owner Paul has been a racer for over 20 years? He'll take care of ya if you need race tires and Fikse wheels.. they know their stuff and they will definitely take care of you.. they even balance their tires well over 120 mph mark.. definitely great guys!

+1 exactly!

(and on the TPS question, you prolly cannot transfer them. there are workarounds, I think, but fairly complicated)
