View Full Version : How much do you pay for mount & balance tires?
tiger740 05-24-2007, 07:59 AM I have checked with Rimpro and Rim & Wheel Works. They both are quoting $100 to mount and balance 17 inch tires.
I know that they are great place, but this seems a bit high. Do you know other places that will do this a bit cheaper, but still do a good job?
ToddK 05-24-2007, 08:15 AM Tremont tire in Carver Ma does my race tires for $40 a set, and they really suck to mount. I have to take my old tires away. I would imagine that would be about the going rate at a smaller tire shop where cash is king.
FredK 05-24-2007, 08:16 AM That's pretty inexpensive for 4 tires. NTB charges around $17.50 a tire, so it's going to be around $70 for four wheels.
They'll do hidden wheel weights if you ask them to. They were pretty cool at the Brighton location.

SkaterD55 05-24-2007, 07:57 PM I know a guy that works at NTB. He charged me $20 for all four, reason being they get paid like $15 out of the $70 or so you get charged.
Mless5 05-24-2007, 11:12 PM Yeah, but keep in mind that RimPro does high speed balancing and they put stick on weights. Plus, RimPro stands behind their work. I came back 3 times because there was a slight shimmy (e28 is super anal about perfect wheels). No questions asked, they took care of me. If I ever need any wheel/tire work done, I take a day off and go to RimPro.
m3saloon 05-24-2007, 11:13 PM ya at my shop i make 4% on tires.. so if you only pay 100 i make 4 bux.. and thats NOT worth doin 17's haha but if you wanna throw me some side CASH i'll be happy to hook u up w/ anything u need done to your bimma.
marcusj325is 05-25-2007, 06:45 PM not that it means much to you guys but, Walpole Valley Tire Co. in Walpole,NH gives insane deals, great bunch of guys, about 40 bucks for mount and balancing( with sticky weights)
For rim fixing and refinishing Rimpro is deff. the place to go ( took great care of my Hamann's ) just my $0.02
Fidhle007 05-25-2007, 09:58 PM We charge $20 a wheel and will use hidden sticky weights if applicable. We're very anal about doing a good job and will be glad to help you out if you have a balance issue. My $0.02 + Shameless plug. :)

RedStar24O 05-29-2007, 09:09 AM yeah ^^ thats there i get mine done probably about the cheapest.
SkaterD55 05-29-2007, 10:44 AM NTB also does sticky weights.
ProjectP 06-05-2007, 10:31 PM Im pretty sure everyone does sticky weights, most wheels these days require them anyways

Hmm, I think you will feel unfortunate to have me as a customer and my e28...
ProjectP 06-06-2007, 09:40 PM I dont think anyone wants an e28 for a wheel and tire customer, i hate dealing with my own
