So those of you who swapped your OEM Rims for some Expensive Aftermarket wheels. If you bought them mail order, who put them on for you? Did you trust them not to booger up your $3500 wheels??
Looking for a place which uses the Hunter Touchless tire mounting equipment. There are only a few in the area.

I had Discount Tire Direct mount some very high dollar Budnik's for my car, no problem, Mgr actually did them himself. A picture of each when you drop them off and a conversation with the Mgr on your concern should suffice. Firestone has done all of my/son's custom truck wheels with no problem. Most of the larger chains have pretty good equipment for productivity and liability reduction reasons.
$3,500.... must be some pretty big and wide hoopties you have there.

You can buy the machine for 16k. Do it yourself.

For somebody that whines when the stock market drops a few points in one day, ole Buzz sure blows a lot of money.

I've always heard that you have to do it yourself if you want it done right. That one time handling that I mentioned surly does apply here. A place for everything and everything in its place. The place is the hub.

$3500 wheels...wow!
My 5 Jeep wheels were 1/3 that price, so I let Discount put them on along with the 35" BFGs that I bought from them. No issues at all for me, but then again, I have never heard of "Hunter Touchless tire mounting equipment".

Please, please tell me no one out there would be putting four $875 wheels they are fearful of marring on a pickup truck. Please tell me this cannot be.
Would said truck then get a nickname, say, Cream Puff?

Drive into Bandera with that wearing pink pants and a "F" Trump sticker on your bumper and see what that gets you.

I got mine mail order and put them on in my driveway.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Just order online from https://www.customwheeloffset.com/ and they will come mounted & balanced with the correct lug nuts, you just bolt them on. Be sure to buy the proper hub centric rings if the new wheels are bolt centric.
