That sounds about right...15-20 is the norm. Wheels Direct is good yes. Ask for Ben if you do go. It takes a different method to balance a tire with use of sticky weights. That's the added cost.

or ask Colin to do it

...anyway that place has grown big time over the past 10 years...I remember when they were just a small dinky unit in the same complex.
