Question Where to have these mounted?

I live a little outside of Manassas, VA, and thought I would go to some place like NTB to get these put on. http://photobucket.com/albums/b25/mi...t=26b04857.jpg Would anyone recommend not going there, and if so, where should I go? Just want to protect my investment.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike...put 'em on at MY house. I can't guarantee they'll ever leave though... LOL Man those are hot! Congrats!! I gotta see the FD man. We still haven't met...

As for where, w/o a doubt, the #1 I'd go to is Curry's Auto. www.currysauto.com. Go to the closest one. Well worth it, they have state of the art equipment including Hunter machines, can do larger rims no prob (they did my 18s), and can do the alignment perfect as well. All high tech, all very professional. Best general shop there is (which is why they're a bit expensive, but again, well worth it).

Oh and FYI, Curry's the only place around here that I know of that has a 4-wheel Mustang dyno!

Damn those wheels are nasty, i have wanted them for a long time and no body had them on a FD that i have seen. But now u ruined it for me, thanks man. Now i'll have to go with the SF Challenge's instead of those. But seriously those are nice, post some pics with them mounted and everything.

I had $100 ready, backing up that you'd show up in any thread where the word "Curry's" showed up j/k. But yea...Pat's the one that introduced me to Curry's. Most of their mechanics are 10+ years Master factory certified mechanics that do a lot of tuning and racing. Lots of race-prepped Bimmers, Porsches, and other high end cars go there.

EDIT: While I see the Volk centercaps, those rims look almost identical to the BBS Spirit R's (RGR's is it?) Whatever Ptrhahn has.

Okay, Curry's it is, although I have to place an order for the tires. Be sure to 2nd day air those. Gonna go with Pilot Sports. God please don't flame me as I have tried to do all of the research possible. :-) As for the wheels, 7racer helped in the process as he had his on first, not to mention, he has pilot sports also. hmmmmmm.

I'll post pics when I get most of my work done, which anyone of you can help if you like. Help me save money and all. I want to be able to have before and after photos and post them at the same time. I like to hold others in suspense.

Ramy, any time you want to cruise around give me a call and I might be able to join you. I could always benefit from others who know more than I do.

Pilot Sports are damn good tires. Nothing to be ashamed of there. Pirellis have like zero tread life, and S03's weigh a ton. I'm actually gonna go w/ Pilot Sports the next time around.

Mike, I'm always up for straight chillin, but my prob is free time is virtually non-existant in my life =-\ So I try and work my schedule around the big meets/events... But yea, if there's anything comin up soon, lemme know. A bunch of us will prob be driving up together to the next MegaMeet the first Saturday of October. If not that, I'll prob be going to the JDM Supercars meet @ Dash in Manassas on the 16th of Oct.
