Default Tire Shop in Orlando.

Hey guys,

My iforged wheels are about to ship and I need to find a competent shop around Orlando. I'm in Heathrow/Lake Mary area, but am willing to go farther if necessary. I've heard that the shop needs to be extra careful with these rims so that they are not scratched. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin.

Try Boulevard Customs in Clearwater. It's a drive for you, but they deal with Lambos, Beemers, Astons and all kind of other exotics. They advertise in the Dupont Registry, are are actually located in the same complex as the registry. Alot of Bucs, Devil Rays and lightning player get their cars macked out there. They do wheels, stereos, and some other electronic installs too. Ask for Chris Bradley. He's a long time friend. He is very busy because alot of people know to ask for him, but he will do the job right!

I had some chrome wheels installed at Fifth Gear on Hwy 50/Colonial Ave on the west side of Orlando. They are very meticulous. That's ALL they do is wheels.
I was happy with their work and they were recommended to me by fellow Corvette folks.

There was a place called Tire City on 92 in Lake Mary. They did an absolutely fabulous job aligning my 57 (and I had to wait till the 67 was done)!
