anyone know a good place to swap my tires from my old wheels to my new gramlights? (like decent price and most likely not to mess up my new rays?)
thanks in advance!

Getting it done right won't cheap. I would go to Advance too, very nice equipment.

hell no. the one on coquitlam took a chunk out the lip on my stock alloy rim putting a clip-on wheel weight, and the one on marine dr. in vancouver dropped my friend's wheel face down on the shop floor and then did a cheapass repair job on it that didn't match the other three wheels. took him almost 2 months driving around on a junk wheel/tire they lent him so that he could still drive before they made good on the repairs.

if the OP goes to advance, please report back here. i used to go there because ken was doing it, but now that he's gone i'm not sure of anything anymore... the equipment is only as good as the person using it :o

Bingo!!! So many shops with great equipment but few techs who know how to use them properly or don't care about the customer's wheels.

I'm on the opposite end, where I'm experienced and take great care but am limited by my older machine.

Thats not meant to talk shit about Advance, I just havent really needed anything, I just happened to buy everything for my car while Ken was still there:p

When I'm not lazy I'll find the time to head back to Advance to get my stuff taken off for winter
