Default Good Experience With Wheel Installation

Had my wheels installed at Discount Tire in Flower Mound. They had ordered the wheels (OEM Chrome) from the West Coast, and called me before the UPS Driver left. When I got there they had a lift waiting, with all the Wheels lined up where I could inspect each one. The Manager came out and instructed the two guys that were doing the installation the whole time. He said he had just moved to this location and at his last Store he had done work for the Local Porsche and Corvette Clubs, and knew how these owners felt about their cars. No one toched any part of my car except the wheels and tires. I drove the car on the lift and when they were done, they told me to drive it off while they wached from all four corners. If your in the DFW area, the Store is in Flower Mound on Hwy 407. Talk to Todd. :cheers: :smash: :cheers:

PS They have the latest balanceing machines that can check if a wheel or Tire is out of round. All the wheels were well with in the standards.

Very :cool: Nice to know that their are still places that do it right.

Was it the hunter GSP-9700 balance machine?

Guy here in Atl has the chrome from WCC and they look very good.

Post some pics!
