ya, somehow a long time back in the dfw lounge thread someone got confused and thought chefJ worked at NTB, when we were only talking about NTB and alignments........i guess its still presumed he worked there, but ya, im pretty sure he never has...

Not sure but pretty sure.
Jeremy, the NTB bt Grapevine Mills mall is good....they probably won't give you a hard time if you need things on the front end.

He said he's good at mounting tires right? I will have some freshly painted wheels I don't want messed up. Also, Jake I will need a fender rolling from what I understand so I will hit you up for that. Probably knock out the coilover install at the same time hopefully, then you will know exactly how much rolling is needed.

I can do the fender roll - no problems. Coilover install - thats a different ball game.. should be a sweet install though...
Dang Stu - your gonna have the hottest FX in the DF-DUB holmes...cant wait to check it out after your done with the drop and the look...

Stu, check at the Sears off of Valley view.....they said they have a newer machine that is for low profiles.
I would give them a call and see if they can handle the job.

uh...thats where they messed up my wheel - so I would suggest to go elsewhere - ESPECIALLY if you have fresh paint on the wheels..

It's not as much the tires as it is just that it will be fresh paint. I understand some places recommend painting after the tires are mounted for that reason, but that won't work with PC. The tires are pretty large sidewalls since the wheels are just the R35 20's. I think it's 265/50 and 295/45 sizes. Maybe I can just go to my usual DT. I'll need to do TPMS, too.

^ stu.......
hands down, go to a lexus, bmw or a mercedes dealer...........they have tire machines that look nothing like the normal tire machines and dont grab the face of the wheel whatso ever...
they will charge you, so be ready to pay up.
other than that, if you go to a place with a normal tire machine, make sure they use plastic tire tools and the plastic guard on the rim lip when putting on the tire.......places like sears, discount, etc would/might have the plastic guards on their machines....

Well I can't come this week because the wheels and tires are in Seattle/San Diego and still haven't been painted and I leave for NYC on Friday. I bet I can go to DT like usual and just say hey these need to be done extra carefully and I'm going to watch you the whole time. Sewell Lexus is also an option, or I could just go to Sewell Infiniti except I don't know if they do bring in wheels/tires.

To be quiet honest at discount, alot of there employees are careless teenagers. Go there and ask for one of there more experienced techs to work on your wheels and tires, (watch him, follow him, and dont let him out of your sight) yes this will **** him off lol but it will be quality work! Throw a tip at the kid when your done

If you are willing to drive out to Fort Worth, PTP has one of the fancy ones for light weight, painted, really nice wheels.
They are mostly a track/race specific shop, but they've handled almost all the DFWMazda guys no problem, and the guys that run the place are decent human beings. They got me the wrong brakes for my car, overnighted the right ones right to me from the manufacturer, and told me just to keep the wrong pads for whatever. Mark is a decent guy and active on the Mazda boards, he tracks his car a good bit. Its $17 per wheel, five off if there is no tire disposal fee.
