I heard Buckner gets his done a 360MS, and no Im not considering TK or Netflix.

Ill also be mounting moroso bias plys in 15x5" wheels. Is it possible to mount them at home?

At either rate if anyone messes these up their shop will accidentally burn down.

It was joke :hide:

I wouldn't recommend those kits unless you don't care about the wheels or you knew someone good at using them.

Lorenz recommended I use them with my Drag Wheels and I was NOT disappointed. Excellant work!

masterbend..

If bob can do them now, thats where id go. But ive used 360 and they know exactly how to treat them and the chrome ones too, they mounted my tsw's without a scratch.

Many of us have got back a rim bent to shit from the press.

they should be using the plastic protectors for the clamps on ALL aluminum wheels.

i can recommend someone but everyone would laugh and wouldnt consider it anyways but i have watched him do NUMEROUS high dollar wheels and he takes extreme care with them, treating every wheel like its a $2000 volk. problem is you'd have to drop them off, or catch him in a slow spell, but you could watch the WHOLE time from 3 feet away if you wanted. PM me for details.

I had Skate a ShowZone do mine. He respects nice stuff and knows what he's doing. He wore gloves and put cloth/rags in between all the tools.. He'll be seeing them again this year since my slicks are past their prime.

close, its just a friend of mine at Geralds.... he enjoys what he does and takes alot of pride in doing things right. he is the type of guy that puts rags on a jack before jacking up a really nice car.

Hmm those Geralds guys are really good. Super bowl at their house happens on an 88" Tv. Honestly though the guys at least at the Summerville store really do care.
