Call around to some tire shops and ask... A lot of places wont install tires unless you purchase them from their store. I have a Les Schwab here that will install two rears for me for $50. Just to give you an idea...

More important than price is a job that is done right. What good is saving $10 if the shop beats the hell out of your wheels.

Ask for a shop recommendation in your regional forum.

^^ Great point!

Unfortunately there is a significant number of tire-shops that you should never allow near your quality wheels.

As David suggests, you should get a first-hand recommendation before allowing anyone to mess with your expensive wheels.

The Vendors on my 350z.com will do an excellent job.
