South Jersey Cherry Hill Area Wheel Mount

Greets Guys/Gals,

Does anyone know a place in the Cherry Hill area of NJ that will mount/balance 18" wheels? Every place I call cannot do it because the biggest wheel their machine handles is 17". Thanks ahead of time.

*p.s. that includes Pep Boys*

Maple Shade Mazda ( the dealer I bought my 8 at) told me that they will not install any aftermarket parts... period.. this includes wheels... It's a good dealership, but man... they are **** about some things.. can't believe they really don't want my money.. I may take you up on that offer..


And did you really mean 26"? Or is that a typo? Holy Rusted Metal Batman, that's a huge rim..

It's not Cherry Hill, but within reasonable driving distance (don't tell me it's not reasonable, because I commute that way daily!): Sports Car Tire in Wilmington, DE. Talk to Les Tronzo.

Take Walt Whitman bridge --> 95south --> 495south (OR 295south --> Commodore Barry Bridge --> 95south --> 495south). From I495, take the 12th street exit. Go right/west/towards Wilmington. In about 2 miles, you'll pass under a railroad bridge. Turn right immediately after going under the bridge. It's about a block on the right-hand side.

Good shop, bad part of town. They handle lots of Porsche and other high-end wheels, and are extremely knowledgable.

Good deal, thanks for the infor JM1FE. I take it they would be able to mount the tire pressure sensors in the wheels right? I made sure the wheels I bought are compatible with it.

Get to go to a meet, or get to go fly. win win situation. I still haven't gotten access to the tri-state site.. who should I talk to about that?

Off-topic: Where? I need to get my CFI renewed, and need both a good place and the motivation to do it.

On-topic: Yes, Sports Car Tire in Wilmington is familiar with the TPMS sensors.
