    Don't go to Butler. They're overpriced and scratched my brothers polished Works. Discount tire in Buford are good and are the guys I take my stuff to. They have a $20k machine that doesn't even touch the wheels to mount and balance tires. Talk to Kevin at the Buford discount tires and he'll take care of you.

    Yes sir. He's done a lot of my wheels my brother wheels that have a good stretch and a lot of friends wheels. He's been working at discount tire for many many years now and the discount he works at (in buford) is the only one that has a machine where it doesn't touch the wheel at all when they dismount or mount tires. I was told it's like a $20k dollar machine.

    not tryin to be an ass but a 20k machine is cool and all but truly over kill. iv been in the tire bussiness for over 10 years and seen that accu-turn 752 machine come and go in many shop. what you want to check before letting anyone mess with you wheels is making sure they know what they are doing. iv done a lot of tires on a lot of wheels and never had a problem with scratching them.

    Good for you, you can now suck on my balls.

    If you had actually read my post, I did say that the guy I was refering to, has been working at discount tire for "many many years" and has done plenty of my wheels and tires as well as other people I know with high price tag rims.

    To the OP, PLEASE don't do business with butler tire. Even though they say "we baby your car" or some bull shit like that, they still managed to scratch my brothers polished work meisters dismounting tires.
