A big thanks t Josh and his boss Marty for the major hook up in getting my new rims and tires all mounted and balanced...

They said 10:30am and they got me in on time and out by 1115...Josh did an awesome job .no scratches and very professional..and the cash price was crazy cheap!

They have the ability to do custom mountings up to 26in rims. Not one part of the machine touches the rim..

They also do alignments and install of coilovers etc suspension products..

Thanks Josh for your help and to Marty for a nice shop..I highly recommend these guys..

They are on the other end of Oconomowoc but was a nice drive..

How do they hold the rim while mounting the tire then? Magic?

Kidding ofcourse, I think you mean no part of the machine touches the face of the rim. Where's pictures?

don't bother with the road force, it's a gimmick... if you've got a competent person watching the balancer as they work, it's a better balance with a regular machine... just ask andy how his wheels balanced out ;)

I am getting vibrations over 90 which I didn't when I first got them. Now after two seasons its time for re balancing.

before you sign off on regular balancing, give me a crack at 'em... the only advantage to the road force balancing is that you don't have to watch the tire spin to see if it's "hoppy" on the wheel, or is any out of round vs the wheel... a trained eye can spot that quickly and correct it through various techniques...

give me a call or shoot me a PM and we can set something up...
