America's tire company...check Vulcantire.com to see if they have your tires (they have cheap prices) then you can go to America's tire company and tell them to match the price since their prices are a little high. America's tire company will match any price because I did the same.

Thank guys for all feedback, I really appreciate it.

I'm looking to put some stretched wheels on the rims.

I will keep researching; in addition; when I buy the wheels, I will post where I bought the wheels so my350z members could use this thread as a reference where they could buy wheels with the best possible price/customer service a shop could offer.

I haven't made any calls, nor walk-ins yet. As I make contact with the shops, I’ll post reveiews.

Nonetheless, if you may know of a shop that I should check out, let me know.

Once again thank you all.
-Roger

Because I am at work, I’ve made quick calls and searched the sites/shops that were stated.

I’ve written down what they quoted me for the FALKEN – FK- 452 215/35ZR19.

I will be researching and calling other shops as well. On Friday (March 5th) I will buy the tires from a shop that has the best offering. The date is the longest I will wait to buy, if I run into a shop that is awesome I will buy the wheels sooner than the quoted date.

TIRE CENTRAL - $106 –Mounted & Balanced: $115
5132 Walnut Grove Avenue
San Gabriel, CA 91776
626.698.1182
Ask for Donald or David

KE TIRES WAREHOUSE - $115.00 + Mounted & Balanced: $130
2503 Seaman Ave
South El Monte, CA 91733
626.453.0493
Hours: Monday –Friday: 9a.m. – 6p.m.


VULCANTIRE.COM - $108

Once finding tire, print the page and go to AMERICA’S TIRE company and tell them to match the price since their price are little high.

ONLINETIRES.COM - $107.60
Ship or pick up in Cerritos.

I will keep you guys posted of who I've called and walked up to.
Thanks.
-Roger

If you have volks or other expensive wheels its not all about who is the cheapest. I'd rather spend $20-30 more and have my expensive rims mounted by someone who won't mess them up...

19x8.5
I think if I go with the 225 on the 8.5 the stretch wont be that good. I believe that the 215 will give just about the right stretch.

I already have my rear tires (FK-542-245/35), the 245 on the 20x10 should be just about right. I can't wait to install my new set up.

It's not the machines I'd be worried about. It's the person handling my wheels. There is no way in hell I would let someone at a non-performance shop touch my wheels. I'm pretty **** about my wheels . Like Dan said, I'd much rather pay a few more bucks and take it to a shop I trust.
