Default Delaware - looking a place to get my wheels installed

I am looking for a place in northern Delaware where I can get my new Forgeline wheels installed on my C7 Z06. Thanks in advance...

If you haven't found a place yet I can only suggest J's Tire on Kirkwood highway. Don't let the looks of the place deceive you. They only mount/balance tires all day. Joe the owner is also a corvette guy.

I'm not familiar with tire shops in your area, but I suggest you search for a shop that has a Hunter Road Force Balancing machine. Considering the size of the Z06 wheels & tires (goes for all Corvettes), you'll get much better balancing with the Road Force machine.

I got them installed at Sports Car Tire. They did a nice job. Thanks to everyone who replied. Frans96ss when you replied I had already setup the appointment with Sports Car Tire, I will definitely keep you in mind in the future.

Just a FYI for future ref, Chev of Dover and Willis Chev both have the new Hunter road force balance machines.

I stopped at a specialty tire store recently to ask about "road force balancing". I just got a set of Cray wheels for my '98. I was surprised that the cost was quoted at $75.00 per wheel... Too pricey for me...
