I'm really not sure what the brand is. One of our employees is buying it and it will be delivered later this month. I'll let y'all know about what we can and can't do after its here.

I've had a total of 6 Azeni's RUINED trying to mount them on 14's and I had nothing to do with it. 4 were done from a friend and 2 were done by Dyke Tire...supposidly the sidewalls of a 195/60/14 Azeni is just too fucking stiff.

I've had several tires purchased and mounted by Dyke Tire on West Broad (a few blocks west of Parham). Them's good people.

I gotta ask and get back to y'all. I wouldn't see it being a problem, but like I said...I'm not buying the machine and it's not going to be mine. It's merely going to be sitting in our shop for me to use for free whenever I feel like going from black to other black wheels.

Ok, so right now we have the following suggestions:

Dyke Tire on Broad
Carrrs on Broad
Mincz
PAS tbd

Any others?

We should try and get a DragVA rate for mounting and balancing low profile tires. Bring 'em the new tires and wheels and pay a set rate for 13" - 18" wheels with low profile tires.

BTW, where are you guys buying your Azenis from?

Richmond is generally stupid expensive to mount tires... I can geneerally get tires mounted and balanced on 18's for $10-12 per tire. It's like $20-25 here.... weird.

Dyke Tire = honest, reputable, and cheap. PAS uses them, too.
Carrrs = expensive but experienced with chrome bling lips and low profile.
Mincz = great for alignment of hovercraft cars, similar to Carrrs without the guns.
PAS = honest, reputable, get what you pay for. Would be great local hookup.

Again, it's not going to be my deal, so I wont be mounting anything other then my piece of shit wheels. I gotta get up with the guy and ask him what his past experiences with stretching tires and low profile tires are before I can answer. I am in no way going to let him experiment on the wheels y'all have been waiting 7 years for.
