I'm looking for recommendations from SF Bay Area members for someone who specializes on mounting and balancing tires on wire wheels. I live on the peninsula, but am willing to travel a reasonable distance for someone who knows their craft.

Thanks!

British Wire Wheel in Santa Cruz, not too far from you and they are good with wheels.

It appears British Wire Wheel moved to Fresno. But I did find another place in Santa Cruz: http://jbswirewheels.com/

I believe that JB's is a ex-employee of British Wire wheel, if so he is the one that did my wheels, the sale was going through at the time they did my wheels.

At least someone had the good sense not to move from Santa Cruz to Fresno.

You could call the Bentley/Land Rover/Jaguar dealer in Concord, they may do or know a shop that does.
