Did I get ripped off 19" rims Options

[bdog_v]

Hey guys I just had my new set of 19" rims and tires mounted on the rim and balanced *not installed on the car* I did not check pricing before hand as this shop was recommended to me. I paid $25 per wheel. For a total of $105 I was shocked!!!! Is this way out of line? What have you guys paid for mount and balance 19" rims. P.S. they were reverse mount or the tire had to be mounted from the backside of the rim if that affects the pricing?

inspect the wheels, if they show no scratches, then I would say the price is not bad, I'm sure you can find better deals but mounting a tire on a 19" aftermarket wheel is not the same as mounting a tire on a 14" steel wheel, proper equipment is needed and that cost money. The price is not abusive, I would say is fair.

I go to this one shop. He charges $25 for all four, doesn't matter the size.

shops around me charge $7-10 a wheel for mount and balance.

You didn't really get ripped off. It's not a completely blown up price, and is reasonable. There are shops out there that would do it for cheaper, but $25 a wheel isn't too bad. I mount my own tires so it's free .

its fair, it cost me about $100 to get them mounted, dynamically balanced, and the valve stems of course, and mine were 17inch

Sounds about right.. Where I am. Theres places that mount all four for.. 50 bucks including race rubber....

I do mine at work for free, balanced and everything..

i get mine's done for free....hook up, but inspect everything when they're done....that is a pretty decent price if they do it right.
