![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Need Help! I am planning on getting new wheels from one store and new tires from another store. Any idea how much a shop charges for mounting them ? SHould I try and make a deal with the wheel store to get tires on them ? Can I just go to the tire store, give them my wheels and ask them to mount em ?

Yep just bring the wheels in and have them mount them...It depends where you go to get the tires to mount them..some store roll that price into the price of the tires..with balancing and all that other stuff...Ive done it a few times.

be very careful who you bring it to. Especially with after market wheels. I would ony go to the tire shops that other performance shops are taking it to. if money is not an issue I take my car to CEC to have mount and balance, but they charge like $100 to do all 4. I would take it to tire shops that consistently install tires on after market rims like CEC and they are close to you in west la. they are located across century city mall

Yeah if you have just a regular Discount Tire I would definitely recommend those. Otherwise both www.tirerack.com and www.discounttiredirect.com have lists of approved tire installers and list prices, but I have seen people have bad experiences even with shops listed there.

yes there's an america tire right next to where i work.. was planning on going there as soon as i get my wheels... a friend who got yokohama's for his acura said that they have special OEM yokohama's ? i've never heard of OEM wheels ... lol... must have been a sales pitch.. but he got them for cheaper than was listed on the website...
