Fotios at least you didn't pay for them to mount and balance them and in the end it was like they hadn't balanced them at all!!!

2 years ago I got tires from tire rack shipped them to a recommended install place in Plattsburgh, NY. Install took 2 hours, then drove back with them on the car to Canada, felt some vibration but didn't feel like crossing the border again!!! Had to re-balance the wheels the next day, what a waist of time and money!!!

Looking forward in seeing your new set-up.

Damn. Fotios...sounds you have bad luck with your local tire/wheel shops. Didn't a previous shop scratch up your VS7s?
