A few weeks ago, I asked that question in OC and if I remember correctly, they quoted me something around $450 for the four wheels, if you want I can find their business card.
However, they told me it would take them a couple of days to do the job.

Thanks @Gilles ! Yes if you can recall their name I’d like to continue my research …
I’ve found a place in Anaheim that claims to get the job done same day for $500 all together with balancing …

https://www.propermotion714.com/

Have you heard of them? Does anyone have? Of course, I made the big mistake of checking their ratings on Yelp, and as always, everyone's opinions - both bad and good - are in there, hence the dilemma of whether to do it or not. Hehehe.

Yes... $1200 is ridiculous. I paid $300 for the 4 in 2017. Call around... PC isn't rocket science.

However, if OP insists on the $1200 job... connect with me and I'll get it done for $800. /S

Thanks @Gilles and @Starter986 !

I did find a place in Anaheim that charges $500 for a full set + balancing, same day!! Has anyone ever heard of propermotion714 dot com ?

I made the big mistake of reading the reviews, and as always, everyone's gotta have an opinion, so now the dilemma is even more hahah... the price point and turnaround are very appealing though!
