Well I just got the tires changed and the place is pretty good. Brought the tires there myself and they only charged me $80 even for the swap. Did a pretty good job, but took 1.5 hrs when they told me it would take 1. Not a big deal though. Had some minor "damage" with the paint on my wheels, but that's mostly because of the cheap DIY job I did with them. Didn't scratch the wheel, more like pushed the paint around on the surface of it. I think that's a risk for me just because of how I painted it. No where near as bad as it was with the plasti dip though. It's pretty small and not too noticeable so I'm not worried about it.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone who's in the area. Here's their website: Welcome to Import Sports Online!

Yup that was for all 4 wheels. They're mainly a Honda shop so you'll love them even more

shadoquad · 10-15-2012, 02:47 PM

blades, did that include the cost of an alignment, or did you just have them mounted without aligning?

Not sure if srs question :|

That was just for mounting/unmounting tires, no alignment.

Absolutely serious question. When you mount different wheels/tires, people tend to also get an alignment, just to be sure that everything still lines up ok with different wheels/tires.

Edit: My bad, forgot you were on the same rims.

eastwest2300 · 10-15-2012, 03:07 PM

I didnt know that Shado, good to know.

Yeah same rims so no need for an alignment.

Nah I'm trying to just focus on performance now. If I get new wheels, it would just be so I can fit wider tires on there.

When you get new wheels, they'll be attached to a more expensive performance car
