Default Need a Columbus, OH, recommendation

I'm thinking about getting new rims for my car and I was wondering if anyone here knows of, or has had any good experiences with, any place in particular in the Columbus, OH, area to get the mounting done. I can't trust my baby to just anyone, you know.

I live about 10 or 15 miles east of Columbus.

Thanks!

Tim

If a trip to Nashville is in your near future PM me. Got a shop who does great work at very reasonable prices. Columbus is what 5-6 hours from Nashville?

Passen Motorsports

Don't let all the 2F2F ricers in the lot lead you to the wrong impression; its just whats popular in that neighborhood right now, and lets face it, they got bills to pay. They do fantastic work on domestic cars as well.

I have also used Dipietro Tyre and E T Paul.
Both can handle your tires.
I heard Passen was sold recently. Don't have any more info.

Just say No to Passen (now Auto exotica, I believe). I've heard nothing but bad things about them. I just wouldn't trust it. I can recommend NTB in Canal Winchester. Ask for Nick. He'll hook you up. He's done a fellow Columbus Z06 owner's Nitto DR's and Balancing and did a wonderful job. I plan on going to him when I get some DR's. I've heard nothing but praise about him. BTW, I don't know if you come out much on the weekends, but there's always a gathering of cars at the Hooters on E. Main street in Reynoldsburg. Several Z06's (mine included) and several other badass cars. Stay long enough and you might get to see how your's stacks up against some of them.
