Default Looking for help... where to go

Just picked up my polished Gumbys today and need to know who I can trust to take the tires off my old rims and put them on the new.
Would Wilson-Nib. be my safest bet as they specialize in corvettes?
I know the run flats are a bitch to change and I'm paranoid of my new rims getting marked up. I live in Grimsby but will go to Toronto no problem if it will be done right

GTA Wheel and Tire Zone was recommended to me by Wilf, and they did a great job.

They are on The Queensway near Islington Ave..

Let me know and I can get the address for you...

Ron, I would let Larry @ Tire Depot in Thornhill handle this.

They have a new laser balance machine and a great installer who works on Corvette's and other high end cars.

Larry can be reached at 905-882-TIRE (8473)

They will be doing a set of Z06 tires for a friend in the next day or two.

Tell him I sent you.

Larry's changing the tires on my CCW's and their aren't many shops that could do it without damaging the rims.

Don't go to OK Tire on Shornkliffe south of Dundas, West of Kipling.

I had 4 polished chrome rims and tires installed there on a car of mine a few years ago and they scuffed everyone of them.

That sucks. Did they do anything for you?
