  • Stretching in NY

    Yo everyone!!!! Might be gettin some bbs style 5's and i dont want to wrap them in crap. Where would i take them to get stretched tires cause i have a feeling mavis discount tire doesnt want anything to do with this. Where do u guys take ur rims (even if you dont live in NY). Suggestions.......?

        Most people run 205's on style 5's, which any shop will mount.

          Where in NY are you? I know a few places on LI that are good. SL Metal in West Babylon is very good, I have a friend at a Goodyear in Smithtown who will stretch anything, and I've also heard good things about Al's Hubcaps which is in Nassau somewhere, I just don't remember exactly where off the top of my head

              Yup Kevin fixed my bent and curbed up Brock B4s a couple years ago, he knows his stuff and does great work. If you go to him a bunch he starts to just pull out random lowered prices for you

                    How far are you from Glen Cove Rd?? Martino Auto Concepts does great work with cars. I had a few things done there and they are great people.

                        Nah, you might be right, I never had tires mounted there. They do damn near everything else tho, I figured they might.
