Places to get new rim mounted and balanced

Now that I have my new rim here I can get it mounted and balanced and ship the other one back, but I've encountered another problem: No place wants to do the mounting and balancing for the rim.

I've called Mavis, Goodyear, and Mr. Tire. None of them will touch 20in powder coated rims.

I doubt Ford will do them since they aren't OEM but I will give them a call if it comes to that.

For those out there with 20s can you offer me any advice?

Thanks

America's tire or Discount tire have mounted tires on my 19" Forgestar textured black wheels. They have been extra careful each time with no issues.

Nope we don't have that either. My next options are Meineke, Tires Plus, NTB, and lastly Manny, Moe, and Jack

There has to be a shop that makes their living selling big rims near you... that's who I have do mine. They deal in high end wheels on high end cars so they are should be pretty careful with your stuff.

Maybe hit up a regional forum and ask around.

Go on Tire rack and look for their preferred installers around your zip code. They should give you plenty of places to call. I know around me I have about 20 different shops in a 15 mile radius.

All done thank god

They did a DECENT job. Small scratch around same location as the last one from the mounting, but not NEARLY as bad. More of a rash type mark than a deep scratch, and about 1/2 inch as opposed to 4. I had to really search for this one.

Decided to just buy some touch up from eBay GM NG 522 for $6 because OCD.

I'll put some pictures up in the photo thread in a week or so. Supposed to rain here tomorrow unfortunately.
