Don't forget the re-balancing of each wheel/tire combination. Some shops will not mention this for some reason.

You're looking at around $110 "out the door" at Custom Alignment for each set of 4 for dismount/mount/balance and new valvestems. They are on the high side price-wise, but they are used to dealing with very nice rims (i.e. the chances of them dorking up a rim are pretty slim) and they have the Hunter GSP9700 Load Force balancer. And more importantly than HAVING that balancer (it is the best in the business), they know how to fully USE it 
.......many shops that have the 9700 just use it as an "inferior" dynamic only balancer!

firestone does it for around $75. i go there for mounting/balancing. at discount it will be around $80 without all the road hazard bs, $110 with. its kinda worth it because of free flat fix and replacement.
