People that baby their rims in SE GA
For those of you that live in the southeast Georgia area, and have somewhat expensive rims or really picky about your rims, where would/do you take your rims and tires for mount and balance. Just curious.

Guys, I was in the same boat as you are in now.....wondering who would mount tires on my 19s without damaging them only to say, 'sorry'.
There's sooooo many horrow stories about people's new wheels being damaged during mounting etc. That I was panicking allot wondering if I would/could ever get this some unscathed.
Well, I watched the guy who began to remove the old tires to mount the new ones and at first I thought to myself, that piece of equipment seemed pretty OLD to smoothly mount 19s. Then I watched as he man-handled the wheel & tire with the precision of Uma Thurman with a Hattori Hanzo sword.
So I personally believes it comes down to the actual tech. who's mounting the tires! Gotta ask questions like, can you mount 19s, do you mount 19s, how do you do it without scratching and damaging the wheels? And listen to his replies carefully to see if you 'feel' his confidence in his replies.
BTW, mine were mounted at a Infiniti dealership. Go figure. lol
It worked for me! Good luck.

I don't want to start a new account over there and first post to be a question like such and get flame... You're from GA, where do you get your tires mount without worrying how much scratches will be added to your rim..
thanks guys. And I kind of figure there's not much traffic flow in this section of the forum.

thanks for searching for me KayGee... I'll look into Butler more, but one thing that keeps me from going is, all their locations are 3hours plus away form me. I knew there have to be a few in ATL area; so I specifically throw in the SE part in GA. But thanks for your effort regardless. I go to ATL maybe 2-3 times a year. But I never take my car up there b/c of the places I go isn't my-car-friendly thanks anyway KayGee.
