Any reputable tire shop in Charlotte, NC?
I just bought some new rims and would like them to take the tires off my old rims and mount them on the new rims and then on the car. Need sensors installed and balancing too. Anyone know a place? Preferably some1 that has done this

I'm close in Concord. I used my local Discount Tire store to install my aftermarket rims after many here said they have had great service from their local store. I was completely satisfied with their work. They were very careful with the car when jacking it up, and extremely careful with the old and new rims. The price was reasonable also.

Just shake my head about how good our local Discount Tire shop is. Watched them balance a set of tires for me. One guy posted as a watch as car was driver into the shop. One guy on each side of car, as it was driven on the low lift. Car lifted barely off the ground, tires removed and rolled to balance machine. Tech cleaned the barrels before sticking the weights on,
Wheel studs were cleaned with a brass bush on a battery drill. Lug nut spun on with gun at low setting. Car lowered onto the ground and all lug nuts torqued by hand with proper sequence, rechecked by the other guy.
Without rocking the car back and forward, like others do and just show how much torque it takes to move the car and not torque the lug nuts correctly. Amazing,,all for $46
It's off exit 60 highway 85

I watched them put the aftermarket wheels on my C7 the same way. And the guy also told to come back in 100 miles, and they would re-torque the the lug nuts. I stopped by, and even though they were busy the manager went right out and took care of it for me. Pretty impressed.
