I use tire depot in Bristol, only talk to the owner Tony, and Bring that 249 bravo to communicate the care to be taken. Personally though I always bring the wheels instead of dropping off the car - I don't let any tire shop touch my car. -Dan

I was happy with the work done by Tires International in Manchester. They use to be on broad st. right next to J & M motorsport that did alot of corvette work. J & M would send the cars to Tires International whenever tire/wheel work was needed, so the people at Tires International are very familiar with corvettes.
I dealt with Dale.
Not Farminington Valley but just in case you can venture further out.

No matter where you go, make sure they know exactly what you want done. If you want the stick on wheel weights make sure they know that and emphasis no clip on weights. I wait for the rims, and check the first one, so they can't screw up more than one.

Hey Steve,
Not central, but Paul Minore at our shop does high end wheels all the time. If you can't find anybody you trust, I know he can do them without a problem. He is not in today, but I can make the appointment for you, or you could call Monday.

Just put new GY's on my speedlines. No marks & perfectly balanced. Using them for years mounting tires from the tire rack on my 89 and other cars. No disappointments and reasonable $.
