After dicking around with these shitty fitting Aerospace brakes, I ended up breaking down and getting a set of Alumastars with the 2.25 BS. Now, I need to get tires mounted on these things. I know a guy that works at the local discount tire that has done a great job changing out tires on my 15X10 Pro stars, but he was really hesitant to touch these due to the narrowness and the price of the wheel if they got f'ed up. I called 2 more places and they pretty much said the same thing. Can anyone suggest a place that can do this without so much as a scuff mark on them?

N of atlanta, off shallowford road (right off I-85)
Hell, I have logged over 300 miles this week running around to get all the little things taken care of, so if you know of a reputable place, let me know

they have never scratched any of my stuff either Paul, but i made the mistake one day to tell my parts manager to take his car there to put 22 inch rims with 30 series tires on his Benz. well on the way back from there to my work, he said it was making a loud noise and vibrating. i pulled it in the shop and they left all the lugs loose on it but one wheel. that could have been a bad day and bad news for Butler. now i don't trust them too much lol

Call Weaver Brake and Tire in Marietta and ask for Chris. He should be able to take care of it for you. The number is 770 422 3904. They are off the 120 loop behind the Cobb civic center.

You know what... I believe that they should change the torque value for the Merc and Volvo's and any other vehicle that has the bolts instead of the stud set-up... That 17mm stud HAS to be retorqued after 50 miles..we had a volvo a week ago that lost a fastener that I watched them put on myself..
