Any 8 lug wheel/tire shop in the N.Y. area?
Planning to buy a set of 8 lug wheels. Are there any wheel/tire shops in the NY, Long Island, NJ area that does balancing, mounting, etc? Thanks.

Any shop can do the mounting, they just need to use a tire machine that grips the back side of the rim (the machine they use for alloy wheels.)
Balancing is another matter; the best way is to balance them on the car, but you can buy a flat plate that bolts to the rim so it can be chucked up in a balancing machine. They show up on eBay fairly regularly. Theoretically, you could also use one of the rear drums to put the wheel on a balancing machine but I would imagine a lot of shops won't be interested in doing all the extra work. |
