Although they've been open since January, I never thought to stop by when I had noticed their nice new store front months ago when passing by. I figured with the chrome wheels displayed in the window, that it was just focussed on that. I wish I had visited earlier now, as they have an incredible facility (store and service shop). They carry a comprehensive line of wheels and tires, as well as accessories (BBK, suspension,..etc), and their shop is immaculate and filled with top of the line commercial machines for handling tire changing, alignment,.. etc. They also handle suspension & BBK work. Dan showed me around and helped me with my tire selection (letting me see them in person, side by side, also weighing them for me). I went there just to pick up the KDW2's and take them home, but once he gave me a tour and explained how this Corghi (http://corghiauto.webprofessional.it/default.php?t=site&lang=EN&PHPSESSID=b3a6181930ba75f75059b7faa8a5caef) ARTIGLIO MASTER tire changer worked, I was sold on bringing my wheels to them to be mounted/balanced. I have someone local to take care of me, but it's nice to know this exists. This thing is the Ferarri of tire changers and doesn't even touch the lip. It has an adpater that holds the wheel through the lug holes. It makes the Hunter tire changers look archaic.
Here it is;

They also have an alignment machine that doesn't touch the car or wheels. I forgot to ask about that, but it's mentioned on their website; "John Bean V3D 3 ARAGO system measures wheel alignment without touching the vehicle or its wheels, allowing optimum accuracy in minimum time."
So I will be having alignment done, along with the mounting/balancing of my new tires and wheels - hopefully this coming weekend. Yea! Alignment was quoted at $100 for quattro. Not bad at all.

Ask for Dan Barnes. Very nice, profesional and helpful guy. I'm sure they all are though. Chris@Toyo has been there already (getting alignment) and spoke highly of them too.
