Default Houston tire mounting - who will take care of my wheels?

I need to get some tires taken off my HRE Z06 wheels, and will also need tires mounted/balanced on a new set of Fikse wheels for my '69 Camaro ... Not looking for hook-up here, just someone that will do an awesome job. Any suggestions?

EVS Motors is who I used for my gf's Work brand wheels after Discount Tire scratched one of the wheels.

This is the machine they use.

Not trying to hijack your thread but.......

What does a place like this charge on average to install tires? I am also about to get some new wheels and don't want Discount, NTB, etc jacking them up. Just trying to ballpark how much the whole wheel / tire swap is gonna run me.

Thanks,

Billy

25-30 bucks per wheel

Yes, I agree. EVS is a very top notch place for wheels. They have done a lot of work on my C6 Z06.

EVS Motors is near my hood. Just like you exited Bellaire the other day but instead of making a left under the freeway you make a right and just ride all the way down Bellaire. It's on the corner of Cook Rd and Bellaire.

i work at discount and have a machine like that there, it's the hunter auto 34, its ******* bad *** and i know for a fact i can change any wheel out there on that machine and not scratch it. but if you didnt buy the tires from us my boss will charge you to do it (obviously) but it'll get done right and with care esp if im the one doing it.
