my buddy just got rims/tires for his car and doesnt exactly have a large budget to pay to get them mounted/balanced nor does he really trust anyone. so i was wondering if someone has one that the wouldnt mind letting me use to mount/balance his rims/tires. he said he can pay for what ever weights we use and possibly compensate a little for the time spent while i do it. please let me know price/address if anyone can help us out

If your friend can afford rims/tires, he can afford $15 each to have them mounted. Thats just my 2 cents...

no one is just gonna let you use a machine to mount and balance tires. Most shops have insurance regulations where customers arent even allowed to come in the "shop area" let alone use the equiptment.

ok well im still going to try because sometimes people will do something out of the ordinary

its not that he dont trust anyone. its just he would prefer to have someone he knows do them. we were going to do them at my shool but they dont have "time" nor will they let me operate the mounter/balancer since im not in the class that uses it. if he needs to get them done somewhere he will i just offered to try and see if i could find a place i could do it for him
