I actually took mine over to Costco over by UTSA. They were the cheapest in town, and the guys were the nicest guys around. They said they could do up to a 40" tire if they had to. I ended up with 10 to 13oz an each rim, but it rides pretty smooth. The problem I had was, with the Velocity 8's, you cannot place weights on the outside of the rim, so the side to side balance could not be adjusted. They actually had to remount the tire in different positions in order to get the tires close to being balanced before adding any weights. LOTS of work for $6 a tire. I tipped them well though! You could always go with a couple of packs of Equal(I think that's what it's called) in the tires. You wouldn't need any kind of weights on those pretty rims, but you would need a drier attached to your air compressor every time you added air to your tires. James give me a call if you have any other questions.
