Costco guys had no problems balancing 17x8.5. I would not trust them
with mounting, but for balancing only they are OK.

Hi Boris,
Do you know if Costco can balance 17x10 size wheel?
I've been to Wheel Works at Milpitas once. They
charged $25 per wheel for tire mounting and balacing
for the wheels I brought into the shop. To me, Wheel
Works certainly is not a place I'd like to go back
again.
