    Tire mounting

    Seeing as I am almost finished with my RSs, I would like to see if anyone here can recommend a place to have my tires mounted in So Cal since I have had bad wheel gash experiences at all the places I have been to. I would think that if the wheel-grabber has rubber booties then there would be little to no chance of messing up the wheels, right? All of the places I have been to have metal grabbers, but I have seen that a company called Corgi makes them with the rubbers where the wheel is held in, so if you know a place that has this type of machine, that would be great. I work in the LA area and live in Santa Clarita so anywhere reasonably close to these places is cool with me. I appreciate any leads someone can offer.

          yeah, that's what I meant. It's funny 'cuz I haven't really watch him drift at the events, but I've seen him drift at private events and drifting my e30 which he failed drifting the first three times lol. after that, he was like, "Yo cah get vely gud angle" lol. some of the r3vers here can attest to that like e30fiend whom i invited to watch haha, good times good times... i miss those times :(
