Success! I've always said, if you want a good haircut you head to the 'hood. You want to find a guy to do great interior work? Find out where the low riders go.

 

After trying 4 places and being turned away I decided to head to the other side of the tracks. Where my people live. I drove around and found the place with the biggest 'dubs' I could find. BINGO.

 

Adrian (the owner) said he had the best machines in town and that he prided himself on mounting wheels and tires without a single scratch. He said "If I scratch the wheels or ding them, I'll pay for new ones. I don't care what they cost. If I damage them, I'll buy them."  He followed up with "It's going to cost you..." At this point, I knew I had found my guy.

 

I paid $50.00 per wheel but he was true to his word. Not. One. Scratch. None of his machines ever touched the wheels. The brackets show below actually had rubber/delrin guides on it. They were brand new! Still in the plastic. He was pretty proud to be able to use them for the first time.

I'm *VERY* pleased and glad that I didn't risk it with another shop. I'm not sure I could have missed this place if I tried.

 

Now I'm waiting for the wheel studs to arrive. They are on the slow truck from New York. I ordered them last Monday. They are supposed to arrive this coming Friday.

 

The waiting is the hardest part!
