Default Where in NTX are y'all getting your tires mounted/balanced on your high end wheels

Hey guys. I have a full set of Billet Specialties Street Lites with M/T skinnies up front and DR's out back. I have had several sets of BS SL's before and had good luck with my local discount tire but I just never felt super comfortable since the one by my house does not have a touchless mount. BS says they will only warranty the wheels should there be an issue if the tires are mounted with a touchless mount. I'm in The Colony and looking for a good place to get these tires put on without scarring up my wheels. I'm far from rich and I don't want my wheels getting beat up by someone that doesn't know what they're doing. Thanks guys.

Cool man I'll look them up. When you say not cheap how much are we talking for a mount and balance? Do they also do balancing on beadlocks? I have a set of double beadlock street lites too I need to find a place to balance them. I've heard it can be a little tough but I have no experience with beadlocks, this is my first set.

He's pricey but he wont damage your wheels. I'm sure he does bead locks too just have to ask him.

I use moe he owns three tire shops and sells wheels from 150$ each to 4k each 13 inch to 32 inch wheels he has a nice chevelle on his Facebook page he owns if u look him up not gonna lie if your scared of the hood don't go but your safe there it's just a little ghetto because it's on Buckner Blvd. But he is reasonable and he has never scratched or damaged my wheels I bought 4 sets from him total and have taken three sets of rear drag wheels and drag radials to mount and two pairs of 20x12 off-road wheels with 35 inch tires. And one set of 26x10 wheels off my silverado to have new tires put on I use him more than any thing because it's always balanced right other ppl do fine but always a little out of balance on my bigger wheels

I can vouch, Sergio and Zack at GIO just did some Hoosier's on my new Weld S71s and did a great job.

I appreciate the responses guys, I had a guy PM me who works at another Discount Tire and he said that DT is very good at owning up if mistakes are made and they it's not really a fight if they were to damage a wheel. That said I have always had good luck at my local DT so it took them there and they mounted them perfectly without making a scratch.
