    Before @DaddyC scolds me.... I've searched lol (i think) and ain't found an answer.


    Looking somewhere in Down area to remove tires off my current wheels and put them onto new alloys.

    They need to be super fussy as they are brand new wheels and I've seen too many places mark rims (esp dark coloured wheels) and deny all wrong doing.

    Maybe think is something @Armo at Street Racer could do?

    I've always used Carryduff tyres, never had any issues, even when my rims where freshly painted they were very careful. I inspected the alloys in front of them after and they made sure to reassure me they were very careful. No matter where you go, you inform the manager the alloys are in perfect and brand new condition, you and him look at them before hand, so they can't refuse any damage. But as said, never had any issues with Carryduff tyres and you've seen my purple alloys, not a mark on them anywhere.

    Never had any issues with Andy at Streetracer for this type of service and pricing is fair.

    Modern Tyre service in Holywood. Ask for Neill or Jim to do it and you'll not have any issues
