Default Tire Shop in OC

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good tire shop in OC that can intall tires without damaging my Volks? I'm looking to rotate my front two directional S03's. I don't mind paying a bit more, but I don't want my rims damaged. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated!!

I've had good luck with Americas Tire on Aspan and Lake Forest Blvd in Lake Forest... just east of the 5fwy south. About $15 each tire.

Talk to Jeff when you go there, he always takes good care of my wheels, and sometimes works with the price a bit... tell him Jeff with the Silver Z w/white wheels, and Black Jetta w/black Volk wheels sent you

I used Autobacs last time, since they sell nice wheels there they seemed to have no issues putting my toyo's on my volks.. $15 a wheel also and no scratches.

I called American Tire and once I told them I had custom rims on my car, the price went up to $30 to take ONE tire off and to flip it, so just to do the fronts, it will cost about $60 I gave Autobac a called and they only want $15 like Nark said. I'm going to give them a try.

It really depends who you get as an installer. That Americas Tire scratched the face of my wheels when mounting it to the balancer.

Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim. They only do aftermarket rims and they hand torque your wheels.

Is this the same wheel warehouse on West La Palma Ave in Anaheim?? I was thinking about trying them out as well. I thought there was only one wheel warehouse in Anaheim. Which one are you referring to on Karemer and Mira Loma??

Wheel warehouse will not touch any rims that weren't purchased there. I've tried, autobacs is your best bet man.

I was afraid of that. They weren't open today so I couldn't talk to any rep at WW. I guess Autobac it is. Thanks again!!
