Slicks tubed and screwed... What do places usually charge to have this done and where can you go about doing it? I want to be able to run 10psi in my tires

buy the wheel screw kit from Moroso, comes eith drill bit I believe, its easy to do. using bare rim, mark 8 places on lip (front and backside) that are evenly spaced, drill hole nice and neat, use a file to get the sharp stuff off hte backside, use tubes if you want, mount tire with beadlocker paste, and install wheel screws, inflate tire and go racing.
I use M&H cheater slicks on 16 X 8.5 Weld Prostar XP wheels (had to use tubes because they leaked through the rim screw holes!!!)...even with beadlocker paste, the rim turned inside the tire .5 inch (which is VERY bad when running tubes, will rip the tube where the valvestem is mounted to the rim), so I had to reistall the rim screws, now it wont spin in the tire....problem is that the combo is very heavy (tire is light but rim is fairly heavy and tubes are heavy too!).
