Agreed. I keep telling him not to worry it. Carter has him convinced that they are going to tear the silicone bead on the 3 piece wheels. On a side note, just one more reason not to buy 3 piece wheels...

If you don't like the idea of Walmart working on them. Here's another choice:

Tire Kingdom
Categories: Auto Repair, Tires [Edit]
144 Beach City Rd
Savannah, GA 31401
(843) 681-5969

http://www.savannahtire.com/index.htm

http://www.tiresplus.com/

This actually may be a great option too as they're used to dealing with $$$ rims.

Agreed. You'd have to know Nick to understand. He's born and raised here in Florida.

However, he turns into the Greek version of the Dos Equis beer commercial guy when he gets around the ladies.

(in my best greek accent) "Helloow ladies. My name is Niko, and I'm from a humble village in Greece where my family used to herd goats and build shields for the spartan warriors. Now I own restaurants and drive fancy car. What time do you get out of high school? I can pick you up sometime."

Randy -

I may need to borrow a set of Shaved RA1s incase the devil tires don't make it through the weekend.

Trailex on the way....

I know the wheels will get beat up, but still cant justify a walmart trip. Your asking for too much to go wrong....
If something goes wrong, would you rather one of the biggest companies in the world to stand behind their work or a small tire shop?

Not trying to scare him but it wouldn't hurt for him to show the tire mounting guy the seem and tell him to be very careful. If they have done Reter's BBS all will be fine.
I don't understand why Nicko just didn't buy the tires from Forgeline and have them mounted at Forgeline and shipped.

Wes:

I have a brand new set of rear 18" shaved RA1's if you want them. They should fit camo. I can bring them up with me.

I've got 315s on it now on CCW's with a ton of room to spare ( I just used them becuase I had to keep the front ratio for the now missing AWD). If it doesn't fit nothing a baseball bat won't take care of!

I will let you know once I get my transport situation figured out, that would be awesome! Not 100% I'm going to need them yet, but don't expect much out of the R888s on it that have been sitting on it for 3 years now.

Mike, 2 problems with tires being mounted at forgeline. 1, they cant get the tires in time without me paying for extra shipping. 2, the wheels need 24-36 hours for the sealant to cure. They dont recommend mounting a tire before then.
