As soon as you receive your order, you should thoroughly inspect it for damage or problems. Any issues have to be brought to our attention
before it is installed on the vehicle. Once you install anything on your vehicle, you assume responsibility that there was no damage and that
all parts were present when the order was received. After you have made sure everything is to your satisfactory with your order, it is time
to get it installed. You have just made a considerable investment and you don't want that ruined by a careless installer. Once your installer
starts work on your wheels, it releases 1010tires.com and the shipping company from any liability for damage. Any damage found from this
point on is the sole responsibility of the purchaser and the installer.
Make sure you choose a reputable shop that specializes in high performance tires and alloy wheels. A general mechanic that can install
tires on a station wagon can't necessarily install a 40 series tire on a 17" alloy wheel. Ask your friends for references. Wheels are
fragile items and require specialty equipment to install them on tires.
Please be aware, tire and wheel installer shop charges fees for the labour that may vary greatly from location to location. Here are
our general guidelines.
To install and balance tire and/ or wheel [1]:
| 13" - 15" | $15/ea [2] |
| 16" | $20/ea |
| 17" | $25/ea |
| 18" | $35/ea |
| 19" | $45/ea |
| 20" | $50/ea |
| 22" - 28" | $65/ea |
[1] If you have TPMS - add $10/ea.
[2] These prices are in CAD (Canadian Dollar).
Once you have chosen an installer, ask them if they regularly work on alloy wheels and low profile tires. Make sure their machines
are in good working order because a dirty or unadjusted machine can easily mark or scratch an alloy wheel. Make sure they do a dynamic
balance to ensure a smooth ride. Make sure your installer uses a torque wrench to install the wheels on your vehicle. Your vehicles
O.E.M. torque settings are acceptable for your new alloy wheels. After your installation is done, again inspect your wheels and point
out anything that has appeared during installation.
Once you are satisfied with work done, it's time to go out and enjoy your new purchase!
