Mounting and Balancing Advice

Fellas-

Hello from Kuwait now...I've moved south for a few weeks in my transition home to meet my new girl, but don't think she'll be on island until late Feb now

Anyway, for lack of a better place, I emailed Lex Brodie to see about getting tires put on my new wheels, and the President personally replied and said he'd look for tires, but that I'd have to sign a waiver because they might scratch the wheels.

I looked in the very helpful thread with all our options for doing crap with our Ms, but did not see anything about a good tire and wheel place (if I missed it, apologies). Can anyone recommend any good places to take our cars that work specifically with high end products and guarantee their work?

Thanks in advanced fellas.

actually they weren't even that good. when i had my honda, i had them replace the tires on my rims. they scratched the wheels. i guess i'll have to find a place too when it's time to replace my tires.

Hawaiian Tire or Island Brake & Alignment which is in the same complex. I've been taking my cars to those places for years and never been disappointed. The owner of Island Brake & Alignment has a slightly modded E34 or E39. For tires, I would favor Hawaiian Tire though.
