I got mine done at sears, I dont think theyre that good. Bunch of hoodlums working back there, and they dont care if they scratch your rims.

I dont remember, It could have been around 50. Got them put on last year.

EDIT wait nevermind, you only need one put on. it should be cheap.

Don't go to Sears. I told them to hand tighten my wheels to 80 ft-lbs. They used the torque wrench, but he tightened them as tight as he could. Which was about 115ft-lbs. :evil: Not to mention, he used a stem puller on the wrong side of the rim and ding'd all four.

Actually I like it better when the tire is laying flat on its back. :lol:

If you still need it done, if you can leave the tire and wheel with me I'll get it done at work tomorrow for free. We've got an awesome tire balancer ($50k) and the mounting machine is nice too-pretty hard to fuck up a wheel with it.

I'm assuming you already have a new tire?
