Need a trusted wheel mounter and balancer near Philly

Alex@Helix · 03-15-2011, 04:42 PM

Thanks
Alex

Wheel world in clifton heights is good, they are only 10 miles from you at helix. http://www.wheelworldracing.com/

try giving "wheels america" a call. They do repairs, but take my 19" m6 reps and do all the tire mounting and balancing as well. Right there in Philly right off the airport. Google em up.

MyE92 · 03-15-2011, 08:47 PM

Damn you went from $700 wheels to $5k wheels?! Life must be good...

D335NUTZ · 03-15-2011, 08:57 PM

I guess your putting those BSS on instead of selling? Lol

Alex@Helix · 03-15-2011, 10:13 PM

yea I put a feeler up to see if I got any nice trade offers (like LM's) or good cash offers. I have heard horror stories about wheels of america, they are actually going out of business everywhere. I will check out wheelworldracing... have you had any experience there?

Wheels America did three of my wheels over this winter.... next year getting a set of winter wheels and tires lol...... but they came out pretty damn good. Balanced, mount unmount, cleared, picked up, delivered, and all for $130/rim.... not bad I guess. Never dealt with that other place you mentioned. GL tho. btw you got plans for sat? might be getting together for some photos, food, fun in philly if weather holds up.... keep in mind.

Veeemdoubleu · 03-16-2011, 07:38 AM

To be honest with you man, I have done plenty of low end 22's at the shop but BBS makes the hair on my neck raise a bit....we are open sat but I am kinda scared since they r 5K wheels lol You can use my machine if you like for free but I wont take any responsibility if u scratch them. but My friend owns car toys they do it for 35 bucks a wheel and they do Benz porche bmw all day. hit me up if u need more info 609 214 7600

P.S. do they mount from the back of the wheel?? seems like it, if so then if u do scratch up the back lip a little it wont show.

Better have insurance on these babies

Alex@Helix · 03-16-2011, 09:46 PM

im actually looking into that as ive seen some cars up on milk crates around where I live. I havent ever checked into it so I dont know about insuring these puppies

gunsekun · 03-17-2011, 10:26 PM

it's simple... just ask your current auto insurance and ask for the premium.. make sure you keep the original receipt
