4 shops said no can't do it industry has gotten away from swapping used tires,or doing work on aftermarket rims,

Money grubbing lying bastids. Happening where your at?

I can see that there's some form of liability in it for a shop, but I think they would have said so. "Hey, we'd love to do 'this' for you, but because the tires are used we, due to liabilities, cannot." I don't think they were necessarily being money grubbing lying bastards, but they also didn't provide you with a full explanation.

said, if you have a small mom-and-pop place, or like around me we have all these places that specialize in used wheels and tires, just have them do it. I had a set changed out for something like $100 a few years ago.
