Default Just because a shop can dismount an 18” wheel, doesn't mean they can do it properly.
Be sure that they can do it w/o scratching the wheel. No matter what the size.

Default Little Foreign Car Shop in Waltham/Belmont
They do a great job mounting tires on special rims.

Default Direct Tire Watertown, or Rim & Wheel Works (617-964-0226 or 800-261-0495) Newton, MA
Direct Tire will probably be the best bet, but not the cheapest

Default Direct probably the best shop around, but they certainly make you PAY for it!!!
I think they wanted around $65 for mounting and balancing one 18" tire. No thank you, I had it done at the Little Foreign Car Garage (shop?) in Waltham/Belmont for $25.
