My problem is that my M3 is my sole vehicle. How long does a repair take? I'm thinking it's best if I just drop the car off, get a ride from a friend, and return to pick up the car.

I haven't used the mobile truck service they provide. I just dropped off my wheels at the shop.

I have talked to a few people that have used the mobile service, and they told me you just have to remove the wheel from the car sometimes. I don't think revomal of the tire is even nessesary. I guess it all depends on how much damage there is to the wheel itself. Ask Tommy that question when you call him.

And yes, the front and rear wheels are different sizes.

The front wheels are 19x8.5, and the rear wheels are 19x9.5.
