Well I received the BFG's yesterday from Tire Rack and took the rims to NTB to have them installed. The guys at NTB were questioning the valve stems so I called Specialty Wheels and found out theres an extra rubber piece they use just for shipping purposes. They mentioned to me to make sure the installer balanced the wheels using the lugs and not the center hub. Well everyone at NTB never heard of such a thing so I called my mechanic and he looked it up and found out that Specialty Wheels was correct. So now I had to find a place that was able to balance them and after 10 calls I found the Just Tires location by me was able to do it. I took everything over to Just Tires and the owner said he wouldn't be able to get to them until tomorrow, so we unloaded them and went in his office to fill out the paperwork and while we were starting that he decided he could do them at that time. So they put them on, balanced them, and even cleaned the blue off of the white lettering. At the end he asked how I was going to pay and I said my debit card. He asked if I had any cash on me instead and I showed him I had $41.00 and that was all. So he said that would do and that now he wouldn't have to stop and get cash on the way home.
So I guess after all the running around and bull$&!$ paying $41.00 to have 4 tires mounted and balanced worked out in the end.
I guess it was my day after all...
