Default Wheels / Arizona

I moved from the midwest to Az (best thing I ever did), would like to know of a dealer or.....? who can take off tires from old wheels / rims and put them on my new wheels without scratching the new or old wheels. I live in Gilbert, but will travel to a reliable dealer who can be trusted.

I've had good luck with Xtreme Motorsports in Tempe. They are a Forum Supporting Vendor.

Welcome to Arizona, BTW!

Welcome to the "Dry Heat"!! I would suggest the same place the previous person stated. They are really good with a persons car. Seem pretty honest and up front.

I agree - Xtreme Motorsports will do a good job. Bought a set of chrome Z06 wheels and tires from them and they arrived in excellent shape.

Xtreme is the best, no doubt. For best of the best in wheels, you may want to check out the wheel specialist inc...located in tempe right near Xtreme actually. They are the wheel and tire experts.

I've only entrusted Xtreme with my HRE's for tire changes. They also installed tire sensors using the bands.

There is also a mobile service if you can't haul everything. I have no first hand experiences but have met Kevin at a local show and was impressed with his setup. www.azmobiletire.com
