cheap Tire mount/balence?

I'm getting my girl friend some alum wheels cause her steelies are like bent to hell, but to take 4 rims in to get mounted and balenced anywhere is like 100 bucks.... I am hoping either someone knows someplace cheaper or can give me the hookups for free or cheap or whatever, thanx... -Kreiner

I think it's around $6 each at Walmart. Some of the tire stores I went to wanted $35 EACH to mount/balance a tire.

100 bucks for mounting and balancing is pretty common, I couldnt find a better deal.

Just be glad you aren't driving a BMW, cause I'd pop ya for $180.00 And no that does not include the tires or valve stems.

Re: cheap Tire mount/balence?

I thought back when I worked at tires plus, it was 25 bucks..

I know that I can do it at work, but I dunno how happy the boss would be..
