I agree with djnelson. Should be around $15 a wheel to mount and balance.

Default don't make price an issue

for low-profile tires, ignore price, and focus on finding a shop that knows what they're doing. you'd be surprised how hard it is to mount low-profile tires and if the shop isn't experienced they'll *destroy* your rims (and if you're really lucky they'll even deny doing it) -- and that will cost you a *lot* more.

oh yeah -- it should go without saying that chains like discount or hogan tire are out of the question.
