I asked this in a separate thread which has no replies, so I'll try for a response here.
If you've changed out your factory wheels when the car was new, did you do it during PDI?
My car will be courtesy delivered, and I have a good Discount Tire near me, but I'm wondering if the dealer doing it during PDI would be a better choice, or better with DT?
Thanks for your input
When I finally get my car I am taking the new wheels to a speed shop that has done this for other forum members. They also will do a Road Force Balance. I do not trust the dealer with the new wheels. (Your dealer may be equipped to change the wheels and have someone who knows what they are doing).
If your willing to send your wheels to the dealer and they promise to return the stock wheels back to you then go for that, but I highly doubt it so I recommend doing local where you can keep or sell your stock wheels
Thanks for the comment, but Jeez, that would be kind of scummy on the part of the dealer.
Do they pull that **** and try to get away with it?

I don't know much about the dealer who's going to do the courtesy delivery except that the courtesy delivery part of the dealership came recommended.
I do have first hand experience with the Discount Tire shop that I've used for a couple of years, and it's all positive, so it's looking more like DT might be the way I go.

Road force balance is a must have for me.
Tire Rack has an installer search that you can filter for Road Force Balance (on desktop site, not mobile).
Thresher Black Ghost Glazed. 20/21. Couldnt be happier. Thanks Chet.
How long was the boat ride before Fedex got the boxes? I have wheels coming, they are on the ship, they were loaded supposedly July 23rd. Is a month on the ship a accurate time frame?

Received shipping info from paypal on 7/5. Then received the rims on 7/30.

That is quick, thank you. When did you get the FEDEX notification which is not active until the wheels are in the US on the docks in California? in relation to the paypal notification 7/5
I don't remeber the exact days. I know I recieved my pics from Chet on 7/1. And he stated they were shipping out. I received 3 rims on Friday the 30th and the 4th on Monday. So it's roughly 30 days from pics to delivery for me. I hope this helps.

Yes it does, thank you. I got my pics 7/19, paypal notice 7/23, so I may see mine in a week if global shipping didnt get slowed down.
My GG Brushed Raptors are on the way! Pics and video attached.
Cant wait to see these on the car!! I still cant decide on wheels but leaning towards the 2 piece ones and doing two colors as in the lip in gloss black and center gun metal gray.

I am getting the Raptor polished wheels, love the look of the wheel. I will be using the GM silver brushed center caps with the bowtie rather than the OE corvette center caps. This is a Camaro wheel I had stripped and polished, the center caps looks great imo.
