Drum roll ...... BAM! @ NTB in Grapevine
My new wheels and tires came on the UPS truck today!
Who is the local hookup for mount and balance? Thanks.

Drum roll ...... BAM! @ NTB in Grapevine
'06 RSX Type-S NBP
I just use a local immigrant-owned-was-a-gas-station-but-is-now-a-cheap-tire-store. They mount and balance mine for $10 each.
When I used NTB, they were nice enough to tack on some BS fees, similar to a 'fuel surcharge'.
I got my last set done at Walmart. No complaints and it was cheap.
WM couldn't do my OEM 195/50/15, too low profile. :WTF:
Discount wanted $20+ to put my tires on bare rims, and was a prick to boot.
I don't shop at discount anymore, and thats been over 5 years so far.
I don't pay more than $10, and use a small tire store as well.
They always have treated me nice, even when I showed up at nearly closing.
Paul, You should be able to find a shop out your way.
Just don't let them impact them on! :O
Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).
Does Titus have his machine up and running yet?

Yes, and that is the plan. Just too many things I want to do and only so many hours in the day. Right now, I would settle for getting the shop all unpacked and getting some overhead lighting installed. When I consider the fact it will take more time and money (granted not that much) to get power to it, the thing takes up a big chunk of space in a shop that is already smaller then I would prefer, I will still have to pay a shop to mount the tires before I can balance them, and it could be flipped for what I paid for it to finance other shop stuff (or the mounting and balancing of a dozen sets of tires at my local I.O.W.A.G.S.B.I.N.A.C.T.S.), I'm just not convinced that buying it was one of my better decisions.
Below is a picture of how I have spent the last 3 weekends and way too much coin. Can easily be assembled in 4-8 hours MY ASS!

Nice fort! I built one similar for my kids many years ago, and they definitely take more than 4-8 hours to construct!!

Yea but Titus doesn't have kids. That's the mother-in-law's guest house.
