I recently purchased a set of 124's complete with original tires & TPMs so no balance is needed. Right off one car then shipped to me. Would a dealership mount this wheel/tire setup even though it was not purchased from them? I live 10 minutes from Desimone BMW in Mount Laurel, NJ, and I'm not aware of any indy shops in the area.

Why not swap the wheels yourself?

The specific 88 ft pounds of torque had me concerned with going to any tire shop. My local Vespia's uses an airgun. I'd do it but I don't have a lift other than what is in the trunk and I don't have a torque wrench.

I also live in Mount Laurel and once had a problem with vespia. That said, any tire shop should be able to do it by hand with a torque wrench if you tell them to. The worst of the air wrench is you might not be able to budge it in an emergency. Try Stiles Sunoco on Route 38. I have had countless Tire Rack tires installed there and the mechanic will respect your wishes. Best bet is an appointment but I usually just show up at about seven on Saturday morning.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Ended up going to the dealer after calling and getting a price - $36.00 and they mounted them, gave the car a complete inspection, and washed it too. Pretty good deal
