Default Good affordable tire mounting/balancing in Richmond

I want to get a set of 195/50/16 and 215/45/16 tires mounted and balanced on a set of 16x7 and 16x8 alloy wheels without getting them all scratched up.

Where should I go in the Richmond area to get this done affordably?

Thanks for the help,
-Va240

I meant the width...I mean 195 on a 7" wide wheel and 215 on a 8" wheel...you could step up both of those.

At this point I haven't completely decided on tire sizes yet. I may stick with 215's all around...but....that's not what I'm asking about. Currently the car is running 195's all around.

So do you know where I can get tires mounted and balanced affordably without getting my wheels all scratched up? Preferably on the north side of the river.

Thanks.

I heard a lot complaints about Carrs. Mainly with fucking up finishes when waxing with a buffer. Actually I guess it was just a couple. But still...

Last time I checked with Mincz I remember them being overly expensive. I dunno....I'll give Jason another call and see what he quotes me this time.

Should I mention DragVA?

Nah, it was on Richmonddubs I think. Some guy had his Audi waxed, talked about the fucked up job and a couple other guys pipped in with their bad experiences. Nothing about wheels.
