Don't know any locally, but from what I heard on most boards it can range anywhere from 100-200 per wheel depending on the damage. What happened? Mounting them face down?

Real bad news man, sorry to ask but can we see a pic of the wheels? I know all of us are dieing to see what you picked out, I am guessing you got them for the bmw?

Like said before, my fuck up, my wallet. Oh well.

Live and learn.

edit: I did your Miata wheels, Chris' wheels and Alfie's wheels the same way. Don't understand the difference.
Yea, Dennis did my wheels and we didn't have any problems. That sucks. Dennis, I still love you bro. Terry, hope it works out.

I'm guessing you put the head into the lip pretty badly?

19's are very hard to mount tires on...well big wheels in general.

Also, on high end wheels you GOTTA use good equipment. I donno what you were workin with but the machines I see used have protective guards over all of the parts that come into contact with the wheels

They're not that bad, actually.

The heads are padded and I put extra on them. I still don't get why it did anything to them.
