This is crazy talk KK...no offense. I am sure spending $40 to mount tires is totally worth avoiding mishaps in this arena. Tires was the one job I always outsourced. These cars are Sooo sensitive to tire balance, I would only use the very best equipment and disrupt as little as possible. I do not think 2 piece wheels can do this anyway, but again, you should find the $40 a sound investment.
