th130 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Anyone has access to a wheel changing machine.? After being charged 36 bucks last time to change and balance two wheels i am keen to find a slightly more wallet friendly place. I have two sets of wheels/tyres combos i need to change. Happy to pay either beer, food or cold hard cash. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Whoa thats crazy. I know a couple places up here that actually do it for free surprisingly. Good luck man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Tony Tires in Kilbirnie have heaps of young dudes working there. Last time he did it for free (I was expecting to pay). Or just leave them in there and ask them to do them over the day or week while isnt busy.. Hook them a $20 or $30 and they should do the lot.

pies Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 wurd to that. tonys in petone and tonys opposite frank kits do em for free when ever ive been there. go see adrian the 80's king at tonys opposite frank kitts park. recite "badger badger badger mushroom mushroom" and he will either change your tyres for free, or die from laughter.

th130 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Cheers guys, will drop into tonys. Might take a couple at a time. Would hate to a full set of simmons with rubber and a full set of pirelli wheels and rubber sitting somewhere besides my place for too long.

Gaz Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 You have Simons and Pirellis and your worried about 50 odd bucks to change them all over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th130 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 haha yip. The pirelli are rims not rubber, i am a poor student. Got the simmons for a stupid price from someone i had helped out a bit with his racecar. They look great though. But in some regard pefer the pirelli rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th130 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Cool, yeah not sure why such offset as they run spacers to combat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Really? Thats weird. Car looks brilliant sitting there on the simmons. Nice plate too by the way... boe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th130 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yeah that is one sorted little car. And mint for a racecar. Thankfully he went bigger brakes and could longer fit the simmons, great my gain. plate: yeah pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
