Miami (close to downtown) shop for wheels/spacer install

bmw noob · 06-18-2020, 01:40 AM

Anyone have a speed shop or other recommended place where I could get spacers and new wheels installed?

The wheels are already mounted/balanced, I just need them put onto the car.

More importantly, I need the spacers correctly installed for the front wheels. I’ve never used spacers before, and keep reading about how they must be properly installed so now I’m nervous about where to get it done.

Thanks!

Spacers are INCREDIBLY easy to install. You simply need to ensure that the hub faces are completely clean and free of any dust/pebbles/debris/etc. You want the spacers to sit completely flush against the hub.

Watch some DIY videos on YouTube and save your money. This is absolutely something that just about anyone can do themselves! Good luck!

Larry's in Miami Beach can do them for $25 a wheel. Very reliable and great to deal with.

Thanks all! I never realized how much I enjoyed having a network of professionals available until I moved from NJ to Miami. Ha.

I know they are supposed to be easy to install, but being in a condo I have no access to a garage/work area, and do not have the tools necessary (jack, etc.)

I was referred to Miami Autosport Technik in Doral. They agreed to install for $40 total. If anything falls through I will check out Larry's.
