2nd attempt failed, this is getting annoying

so i made an appointment to a wheel shop at a bigger city 60 miles from me. On the phone, i was told they can reverse mount 19" wheels. So i get there and they said they don't have the tools to Mount HRE wheels and that it's too much of a liability for them 'cause the tools they have to reverse mount the wheels might damage the wheels. WHAT A LOAD OF BULL****.



On a side note, i noticed the suspension settled alot more with the H&R Cup Kit.

how about go to tirerack's recommending tire installer list near your area code? i don't know how else to help.... or maybe sent the rims and tires to HRE and tell them to mount and balance it for you~

At least the clowns didn't try to put on your wheels and the say sorry when they damage them. Your rims are still new so it's only a minor inconvenience.

I am confused..??

what is "reverse mount"..?

I am under the impression that you want to mount your 19" wheels..

Why couldn't you do it yourself..???
Just loosen the lug bolt, jack the car and swap the wheel, retighten the bolt and be done with it..




Regardz,

I am EXTREMELY sorry Mr. Patel, I should have replied to your other thread earlier. I have been too busy and missed it. Is this the same company that you asked me if they are a bit shady???

What are you going to do now???

well, now i had no option but to send that one wheel and tire back to D.C. with my cousin. The place that originally did all the work on the car (it's 2.5 hours from me) and have them mount the wheel and tire and he will bring the wheel back to me and i will just put 'em on myself.

the place in d.c. is www.autothority.com , they know what they are doing.
