I may suck it up and just order from the dealership, although it will be a few hundred more. This will eliminate many uncertain variables.
I just don't trust these tire places with those expensive easily bruised rims (172s)

two other family cars that I dont care to mention, lol!
I bought some OEM M5 166's, His wheels came with the TPMS stem, will they have to swap out my TPMS sensors from my 124's to the 166's wheels? or does it read the same way?
Dilemna:
should I just take the 166's there and have the place put tire/balanced while I swap the brakes with the new axxis pads at home, pick up the 166's with another car and mount them myself.
or
should I just take the whole car there, have them mount the tire, and go home take the tires off and then do the brakes.
reason why I am asking because I vaguely remember someone saying that the tire place needs to recalibrate the TPMS sensors and stuff.
any recommendations?
