Default how do you guys get your aftermarket wheels balanced?

i just put on 18s on my car and the ride is really rough after 60, and am in desperate need of a balancing, however most places i go to will only balance up to 17s. what do you guys do when you need a balancing because i bought the wheels/tires used off of ebay so i can't get it done where the tires were bought. if anyone has any ideas of where i can get this done in the DC area or know of any nationwide chains that may do this please let me know.

Try Mr. Tire or go to the Hunter site and put in your location to find a shop near you. Heres the link:
