Mounting tires on wheels.

Whats up everyone? Looking to get my tires mounted and was wondering if its possible to have the weights put inside the wheel so it doesnt chew up the lip. Can any tire shop do it? Is this a common thing that can be done?


Thanks,
Mike

discount tire should be able to static balance them for you. Also, NTB should be able to do it. I find it best to find a friend or something thats works in the business...if i don't, I always walk away with scratches and dings...pisses me off.

That sux, I'm already driving 2.5 hours out of town just to have them mounted since everyone here doesn't know what they are doing.

Just thought I'd chime in. Discount tire will put weights inside of the rims for free, no extra charge. They have never dinged up my rims either...great guys at the one I work at....there motto for whenever I leave..."Kill some rice for us!" Nahahahah
