Probably around $20-30 per tire if you're bringing them to a shop. If you have it done where you buy the tires it's a little cheaper

Edit: though you might find a good deal or coupon for about $15/tire

He'll yeah man I will! I hate them silver weights showin, id especially hate it on my black v5s and km2s.

One question though, my km2 come with white letter on one side and black on the other. Will they make it that te white letters show when they mount them or do they have to be on the inside?

The white letters will be blue when they are done, but don't worry that's just the lubricant they use to mount the tires. It'll wash off with a little elbow grease and a scrub brush.

Actually the blue is on the white letters from the factory. Its to keep them white while the tires are in warehouses and in transit to tire shops, so the letters aren't dirty when you buy them.

I'd call around before going anywhere, sounds like most of you guys are getting ripped off, for a mount and balance with 1 new rim and 1 new tire, (no tire on the rim) it's like 5$ here. (Both items brought in not on a vehicle)

Maybe it's the location, but there's no chance in hell I'd pay like 16$ a tire for a simple mount/ balance.

Where do you get your tires mounted and balanced?
