Fitting/balancing Tyres

[Jonno34]

Hey everyone,

I just bought a set of 18" rims, and planning to fit some Federal 595's SS in a 245/40

The tyres cost 160 from queensland + 115 delivery ... making it a total of 755

Locally, fitted and balanced their 235 each, total of 940

So ultimately, the cost of fitting/balancing will decide if i buy locally or from queensland

I was quoted 160 to fit/balance from a place in perth (not too sure if im allowed to name company's)

But on the other hand, the company in QLD says that it should cost 10-15 bucks to do so

Which is the more accurate quote? If it actually is 10-15 bucks then I'll order from QLD, if it ends up being more than 100 dollars to fit/balance i may as well get them locally

Just wondering where to get them fitted at a good cheap price

Thanks everyone

I got my tyres taken off one set of rims, put on another and the new set balanced for 100 flat at Tyrepower

Thanks for the replies everyone,

unfortunately i wont be getting them any time soon anymore

was hoping to get it all done this weekend, however the company i was getting the rims from basically screwed me over

for the last 2 weeks i have been in contact with him, and he has told me he had "many in stock, no worries come by anytime to pick em up"

i was planning to pick them up today .. and when i called to say i was going to, he told me "we never actually had em in stock, our containers not coming till christmas, and we wont be bringing in your offset"

lol.

On that note, I bought some cheap tyres for an RAC day, like pewpew said, quoted $100. So thats $200 to swap them on, take them off after the day and fit old ones back on... May as well have stuck with my original tyres, lol.

that's when you get a set of dodgy rims to put cheap tyres on for track days
