Aftermarket Wheels install

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.

We gonna have to change your name to Profile.

I don’t have words.

$3,500 rims, I guess it's true.

Buzz. We’ve discussed this before. Just stuff a sock down there and save the cash.

Rigo's Tire Shop does mine

Biggest waste of money...

Buzz rollin around on those Forgiato's.

Personally I've used Discount and never had an issue, but I haven't spent $3500 on wheels.

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

Or lose the gut and feel better about yourself.

Same... not any good ones any way.

No comment on the wheels… but Freddy Trochez w/ Go Mobile DFW Tires is who you seek.

Try the Bass Fishing section of the Fishing Forum. You should get better feedback.

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.

Oh my

4 Wheel parts did everything on my F250

$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 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.

This!^^^^^

Exactly what I did and couldn’t be happier with the transaction, they beat everyone’s price when I was looking.

Not quite that big. Those are stone cold DUB's !!

THIS IS NOT MY TRUCK

The wheels are NOT for my truck

They are coming from Europe, like most

I love Bandera but I bet there a a bunch of rides like this if you look hard enough. They don't wear pink but they do have needle pointed cowboy boots with Sterling Silver tips and would cut your throat for making fun of their wheels, just saying Gringo.

YES!!!

You don't live here I do. The only ones with the needle pointed boots and silver tips are the dudes like you that get laughed at. And yes i am a Gringo. What are you?

went right over your head. Hey don't you sell hunts??

Hey Buzz, how's your man bun coming along?

Wheels and tires on my Tesla were a little over $4000 and had my buddy at Lone Star Accessories mount them.

Thanks, I'll look them up. I looked really hard at a Plaid but didn't want to wait. Besides being outside my budget. That's a bad vehicle.

Pretty good, ordered some white framed Oakey's and a flat billed cap I can wear sideways.

That’s right. You just got one upped.

The Hunter machine looks pretty cool, but no way I would trust it. Way too much automation and way too expensive. It's like having a car that drives itself, or somebody that cleans and processes your own animals for you. Not for me. I want my hands on that, especially when someone is spending thousands of dollars. Dust, dirt, humidity, inconsistent electrical feed or lightning strikes WILL take it's toll on these machines.

Buzz my brother & I owned & operated a tire & wheel business. Tires/wheels/trailer parts/trailer rebuilds/minor mechanical work etc. Had the largest in stock inventory of new tires & wheels in the region at that time. Different tire machines are used for different things. Almost all tire shops out there anywhere in the State today, have tire machines that will not scratch or blemish ANY new wheels. If the folks in charge make sure the protective boots on the tools are in proper shape and there is plenty of lube, and they know how to handle stiff thin wall tires without damaging the TIRE or the rim, you're good.


Just take them to Discount Tire, or a Mom & Pop's that you trust (sounds like you don't have one). They will do you right. I can tell you from experience it's a whole lot easier to damage a tire than a wheel.

Buzz

Post some pics of the wheels and what they’re going on?

Charlie

Thanks Skin !!!

Charlie, They wont be here till December. then the big reveal.

you know me, drama queen

I bet they are torque thrust 2s

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz. Yes you are a Queen. Who are you trying to impress ??

Charlie

He doesn’t have that kind of style

It's ok Buzz, you do you!

Or any where in Central Texas. Looks like one of those 4x4s that never see dirt. That thing has to ride like crap.

Are money market accounts returning 5% again??

But how do you know what kind of machine they’ll use and do they wear fresh gloves with each wheel?

Nevermind, changed my mind and project again

Thanks Superduty, I do what I want and don't give a flying F what anybody else thinks. Don't know why I even post this crap. Everyone got the sour azz.

Ya'll want to see "sourazz" watch the movie "Unhinged" with Russell Crow. DAMM you talk about a made dude.

Buzz out

on to another project.

Anyone looking for a custom made 6.5 Creedmoor, hard loaded ??!!

For one, I am glad we are here to help get you through these tough times.

Buzz, you only live once. Buy the Vette already, buy whatever custom guns you want, and buy whatever wheels you want.

Yea do. And come to the THF with all your drama.

Good Lawd does this wreak Oak Lawn or what? A hole new level of gheyness

I also have new wheels, the VA sent me a set of "off road wheels with skid plates. Upped my speed on gravel by a few steps per minute.

THIS is what i need

You’re a valued member Buzz. Would be pretty boring if everyone was the same.

Gotta give him credit for even posting this stupid crap 😁. Love for the buzz.
