Title: Help Please
Post by: 1blk66 on July 02, 2007, 09:01:54 PM

Hey gang I need a place that can mount rubber on and balance wide 5 rims. I imagine a standard place aka fountain tire or such can't do it?

Where do you go? Cloverdale, Langley, Surrey ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh ya, the rubber is going on my new sprint stars so I'd like a place that isn't going to butcher the rims please.

most tire shops should have a cone to fit your sprintstars, so anyone should be able to do it.

i know the big-o tire that is mentioned in the link that russ provided is owned/run by a guy that owns a 60-something kombi, so he's into the vw's. that is where i took my stock wide 5 steelies to get balanced and they're friendly, helpfull & reasonable.

here is there info...

big-o tire, 20214 Lougheed Highway, Maple Ridge, BC V2X 2P7
(604) 465-7822

Rudy Feeg is located behind Costco in Surrey. His # is 590 4409. You could also try Midway tire on 72nd. Ive had good luck with them as well.
