Got new Pilot Sports for my GEN I. The wheels are near perfect and I want to keep them that way. Where should I take them to have the new tires installed?
Thanks for the help.

Scorch, Trust me on this...go to Motorwerks and ask for Satish. It's somewhere in that area around Farmington Hills and he will give you a VCA discount. Make sure you tell him how important your wheels are to you and that you want him personally to do them. He'll schedule the time. He has the Hunter Roadforce balancing machine and he even uses color coded wheel weights instead of the normal square strips. Unreal service.
I won't ever balance my rims at a discount tire place again on any car I own.

Let me know how much he charges for a mount and balance. I'm about to get my drag radials mounted.

Don't let them use a screwdriver to remove the old tires 
I just purchased a set of wheels from someone on here and that's exacty what it looks like they did before shipping the rims to me.

Craig is right, go to Motorwerks. Fantastic equipment, fantastic service, and a Viper discount. They are also a Tire Rack dealer and can give you a great price on tires. You won't be sorry with Satish! Call him at (248) 668-6793.

I have an appointment Tuesday afternoon.
GTSnake: I'll post price on Wednesday. My guess is it won't be cheap, but it will be done right.

Had my new Pilot Sports mounted today by Sitish and Billy at Motorwerks. Great people and great work! My pristine GEN 1 wheels are still just that.
The equipment they use is second to none. It's the same used by Ford to mount and balance tires for the GT and Dodge uses for the Viper. Metal never comes in contact with the wheel. The dynamic balancing is amazing to see.
If you're in the Detroit area they are definitely worth the trip.
Total charge: $193 and worth every penny!
