Cost to Mount & Balance 26s?


Recommended Posts

I think I paid about 48$ per tire for my 24s and they had a crazy machine, I think it was some Italian made machine iirc that they use just for premium and nice aftermarket wheels.

I remember taking video but never uploaded it because i lost some of the footage.
The guys where really smart with it, and showed why the rim clamp style machines are bad and why they only use them on steel or non premium aluminum rims.

If it's Italian it was probably a Corgi, we used to have one at work, was awesome. Then we quit mounting and balancing...shipped it off to another location :(

I googled that name and looked at pictures and thats what it is.

I remember that it was quick, and they didnt even have to lift the tires up onto it. thing was all automated.

The hunter revolution machines are Nice too and they are pretty much automatic made in USA too.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

that looks like a nice machine as well.

Just stay away from rim clamps thought because I was told by my shop that they scratch the hell out of your wheels, even worse if the operator does not know what he is doing.

Something about nylon feet that go on the clamps that either get worn out and dont protect the wheel no more, or they fall off and get lost. And since the machine will still operate fine without them that most tire shops never replace them.

I guess even with the nylon protective feet they can damage the surface on painted wheels.

Not sure what the local shop costs for mounting, but I know it was $50 to balance all four. I think they'd only charge me maybe $100 to mount and balance all of them if I have to.

Anything over an 18 costs more for an oversized wheel fee. Evidently it costs more air and electricity or something. Plus it's a more expensive machine
