Fair enough, can only go on what I've heard. Any recommendations on a good place to get it done?

I had Des from AutoFX do mine. It was done about 2 years ago, maybe more. No cracking at all. He has the proper machine and uses a heat gun which I assume makes the paint more pliable. Only cost me $110 I think it was for the rears to be rolled.

Just so you know... The Tech9 site isnt entirely accurate. I bought a set of Nexen N3000 225/40 18's and on the site it says the load rating is 92h, but in the wall of the tyre it says 92y... Obviously a much higher rated tyre than they specify.
