Could any of you recommend to me a good wheel/tire installation shop in Richmond? I am getting new 18 inch wheels in a few weeks and will most likely drop ship them at the shop so if any of you have any experience with good shops in the area let me know.
I will also be installing new springs, so any recommendations will be highly appreciated.

Cheers!

I am in Glen Allen, near 295 and Staples Mill.
I am willing to drive a few hours for a good shop!!
I got nailed by a Mitsu dealerships service center with my last car (3000GT VR4) in Miami... granted it was a major repair but there is no excuse in taking 7 months to fix a car...

So quality over distance is definetely a pre-requisite.

I used Dyke Tire next to Crown Acura on Broad St to mount my S-02s when I had my '00 but they were on the expensive side so I don't think they would be the best to try. Too much $$$.

I think Dave (w1ngman) and Dave (dkhl) have both used Tire America over near Regency mall on Parham.

well if you dont mind driving across town its only about a 20 min drive from you, then i would reccommend Nu Image for both your wheels, and your springs. also if you havent bought your wheels yet, they may be able to get you a good price. but just be sure to ask for bobby call, he is the only one at any shop that i will trust to do anything on my car if i cant do it myself.

I am ignoring your last comment... 'do you mind driving for 20 minutes'.... in fact I might take the long way there just to spend some more time in the S...!

brerspidur

well in that case i know of a couple good shops in vabeach

Black Nugget

I heard CARSS was pretty good, but then again i've also heard some shit about them too at the same time.

All in all I'd recommend Dyke Tires. Give them a call to see if they're out of your price range or not. They have the right equipment for aftermarket wheels. I would introduce yourself to them personally and explain right up front that you'll want them to treat the wheels like infants
