nearest i say would be the wheel supply off fairway. i personally have NOT done any mounting with them but they deal with high end cars, alignments, and wheels. they should help some.

i've personally been to perez, but i'm uncomfortable taking expensive wheels to be mounted by them. i'm just very particular.

i dunno bout tire central but when i went to 714 tires to get 4 new tires mounted, they scratched my stockies and now the paint is chipping. Its not like i care anyways since ill be getting new rims but just a heads up. Im still trying to find a tire shop that is careful with mounting tires on the wheels. If anyone has some recommendations please let me know.

they have stretched tires on my work meisters, equips and dpe's and as long as you tell them hey these are worth a pretty penny and ask them to take a lil extra care. i have never come away with scratches or anything from them. too bad i cant say the same for driftspeed.

hmm interesting. i've take a few sets to driftspeed with good results. i suppose i'm not stretching as aggressive as the next guy but they are decent. they are a great shop for alignments and dyno tuning.

Mmmm, but any in the Walnut, Rowland area? I know tire central and 714 can do it, 714 did the stretch on my current set, and I am going to be putting 205/40 on 18x9.

not to talk bad. but i was ****in pissed. if my friend hadnt introduced me. i would've went off. they had some japanese guy with long hair. and he couldnt bead the tires. so he just kept clamping and using the cheetah. and finally the wheel clamps DUG into the wheels. so due to the stretch you can clearly see that the wheel machine had dug about half an inch in at all FOUR corners. yet they did not make one attempt to apologize and looked me like i was crazy for even wanting to stretch a 275 on a 12 inch. when THEY stated they COULD do it. different strokes for different folks i guess

Like others said, The Wheel Supply on Fairway can do it. Just call in advance to make sure they aren't too busy.
