Around here it is 25 for mount and bal, for 18x9.5 wheel with low profile tires. With the new evio, stick on weights you need primere for it's more.

A Goodyear store.
Just be careful in who you have do it. The wheels can get scratched just by putting them on the machine and having the clamps hold down the wheel.
Just make sure they have the nylon covers that go over the clamps and the wheel is secure by clamping from the outside of the wheel, vs inside.

Yeah my friend at the pitstop said they don't like messing with larger rims and low profile typed tires, he said there harder to work with. He said that they also guarantee not to scratch the rim all up or they will replace it, and thats why the cost is high.

Also to whoever said disposing of other tires, i have stock 17" premium wheels with only about 15K miles on them, so those will be saved and put into the garage as they have plenty of tread life left, so i won't have any extra fees for disposal type stuff.

Well i will try a few other places, there is a local shop around here, that does all kinds of tire work, the name of the place is actually called Geralds Tires. Like they do almost all work pretty much tire related, so i will see what there prices are.

Thanks for the help guys.

I paid $39 and gave them an extra $20 for all their hard work. My local Ford dealership dismounted my stock tires from the stock rims, installed my new bands for the TPMS sensors, swapped the sensors to my new wheels, mounted my new tires and did a standard balance, THEN did a RoadForce balance after I came back with an issue and found a bad tire. And then NO additional charge to rebalance them all after I came back a few days later for them to mount my replacement tire.

I'd definately stay away from places like PepBoys, Autzone, etc. Call around to the tire places. They know more about tires and wheels then some monkey at a parts store.
