Just called Curtis tire which is a local tire shop recommended by a local Jeeper (on this forum). These guys are totally up to the challenge. They said they do everything from split rims to run flats. This is NOT a problem. So once my wheels are done (neon green) they are going to remove the sensors from my old wheels. Install mount and balance the spyderlocks, install and adjust rear track bar, install and adjust quicker disconnects, and give me a alinement. It's not going to be cheap but not cost me a arm and a leg either.

If your up for a little road trip, come on down!!!

I wish i could balance mine. The lock ring has too small of a hole to get the balancer hold down on. If you get it aligned please let me know what the model of rack they use is. None of my usual shops have one wide enough for this setup. I really need to check my camber and caster

ok the latest place got them mounted no problem at all i really think the main problem with the other 2 places is that they are used to dealing only with car tires and wheels.. so anyway i am very very happy! it has only taken a month and 1/2 . worth the wait.. should have some pics soon!:
