    Ouch that does hurt.

    That’s why I’ve been hesitant on who mounts my Te’s. I finally found a shop in San Gabriel that I trust to mount mine. So worth the 50 mile drive lol.

    Have you found a wheel guy yet? My guy touched up a set of gramlights and it was flawless. Was going to have him do my bronze x’s but sold them off instead lol.

    No that's too much flexing for a mall crawler, I'm gonna shove it under where the stock spare is but I heard it's a pain to fit 33's down there

    Just throwing this out there,. last time I got new tires, I went to a small tire shop near where I work and ask the tech," can you mount the new tires with out damaging the rim?" He was upfront about it and said no, that he could not guarantee that the machine would not damage the rim. I said thank you, and moved on.

    I'm assuming you're talking about Tire Central? If so, used to take my wheels there all the time when I worked down the street. Another option is Rim & Tire Center in Garden Grove. I've purchased and had tires installed on about five sets of Rays/Volk wheels. Car enthusiast too, so they know what's up.
