Jeff, We do have the equipment and people capable of doing your wheels without damaging them. We've literally mounted and balanced hundreds of sets over the last couple years.
Well since you are in fremont. I would check out the guys at Trackspec. Jon does good work they prep and race lots of high end cars. They also have brand new hunter tire mounting and balancing equipment if you don't want to drive out to Abel. Good people at both places. I would trust both places and have with my forgelines.
Abel has always been great. Closer to Fremont is Roger Krause Racing in Castro Valley. They mounted my first set of C4 wheels over 30 years ago. Great people and equipment.

ROGER KRAUSE SUCKS ***! They damaged a car years ago,put the lift under the floor and then denied it but thanks for the tip anyway,thanks to all for the tips. I might take a look at the shop in Fremont but if not Abel it is. It's been 25+ years since ROGER KRAUSE RACING damaged that car and I still get pissed thinking about it.😡
I can vouch for Abel Chevrolet. They mounted my tires on my new Forgeline VX1 Monoblock wheels ($7200) and did a fast and great job. No marks or damage at all. This was on my 2016 Z06.

If so which brands

We can typically get anything that you can find on Tire Rack except some racing, R comp and slick tires.
If it is a brand that GM uses as OE (Michelin, Pirelli, Dunlop, Bridgestone, BFG, Good Year etc) then I can likely price match to any other local shop you use.
Hey Rich. I'll have the 2 on my car for sale if you know somebody that might want them. Michelin Pilot Super Sport 275-35-18 with 700 miles,$475 for the pair. If I can't get these changed locally I'll load everything up and head over to Rio Vista.

Rich just too add to this!! How much typically does it cost & time to set the TPMS in new tires? I have after market rims & installed GM tpms in them. Sorry but FH Daily could get all 4 to link at 1 time. They got the rears, Then I went back & they got the fronts & then the rears had xxx.

Something sound weird there they should all set together. I just had mine replaced If there all new they should sync no problem. Are they for the right year ?

Yes!!! I don't think he had a clue & was told he might night have the right tool... So I don't know!!!
Got my tires mounted,no issues no grief. Thanks to all for the suggestions. I've always done business with AMERICAS TIRES and the Manager guaranteed me 100% no issues getting these 2 tires mounted,the only problem I had to pull the wheels off the car across the street,wouldn't let me do it in his lot,insurance issue. I've got for sale 2 Michelin 275-35-18s with 700 miles for $400.
