Default New Wheels and Tires

I finally got my Stockton wheels and 33's. Now I want to have them mounted and balanced. Will the stock X valve stems work on them? If not what should I get?

The dealer wants $250 to mount and balance the new wheels and tires and to dismount the old ones to get the valve stems. Does this sound right?

I had my JK tires removed from the JK wheels and installed and balanced on my Dodge Durango wheels, same size tire different bolt pattern wheel. I went to the local Goodyear shop and they charged me $20 per tire (4) plus tax.

$250 is a joke

Forgot to mention I'm doing all 5 and they are charging for the dismount of the stock 5 to get the valve stems...I have called 5 other places and they all want the same or more!

I'm in Northern VA, prices are high up here, but does anyone know of a place for cheaper?
