Wheel specialist in Central Florida
I have some new rims that need to be installed. Any recommendations on who to use in Central Florida to inspect them, balance and install?

Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City has changed all 4 of my tires and replaced 4 due to screws/nails - never so much as a nick on any of the wheels. I’d trust them to do your install.

Do you have a Discount Tire/American Tire in the area?
Yes, thanks for the suggestion!

DO NOT USE the Discount Tire over on West Colonial.
I have been going there for 20 plus years. Always great service, but not so much anymore. Last time I went there to have my tires removed and replaced as I was getting the wheels powder coated, they sliced the bead on one tire (went flat) and sliced the sidewall on another. They would not fess up and I had to pay for the new tires. Then my son took his truck there to buy four new tires and they dented his fender and did not install his hub caps properly so they flew off. Do not go there!

Thanks for the information. Knowing where not to go is just as valuable as knowing where to go. Thanks again!

Try Discount Tire at Alfaya and Lake Underhill rd. Orlando.
We send $10,000 wheels to be mounted . Bob the store manager
actually get's his hands dirty and will mount tires.
They stand by their work. Also he will beat Tire Rack price on
tires and mount for free. They can handle low riding vettes.
Good luck.
