Default Tire Shop in Orlando.

Hey guys,

My iforged wheels are about to ship and I need to find a competent shop around Orlando. I'm in Heathrow/Lake Mary area, but am willing to go farther if necessary. I've heard that the shop needs to be extra careful with these rims so that they are not scratched. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin.

If you feel like driving to Cocoa, I recomend Big Frank's. They did my wheel swap when I got my rims from WCC. The tech treated my car so well, it's the first time I have ever given one a tip. Kevin

Also try Jerry Norris at Discount tire (407-226-3276) at the corner of John Young Pkwy. and Sand Lake Rd. He is the manager there and the only person allowed to touch any of the Forgeline's, Maya's, Volk's, HRE's, CCW's, etc... that we have put on customers cars. I am making a run down there tomorrow with a set of Volk SF Challenges for tire mounting and balancing.
