Bought a tire changer/balancer combo, should pay for itself in a few years

I figured it was time, since me and my fiance own 7 cars and I've been getting more serious with the autocross. Like many of you guys I have a great go-to guy that can change/flip tires for me, but working around both of our schedules can be tough.

I went with the Mayflower line (Chinese) that you'll find on eBay. I got the better unit with the extra arm for run-flat tires, which is what you need for our low profile tires. I swear they just jacked their prices since I bought mine a few weeks ago:

I paid $2349 or something and then an additional $100 for residential delivery and $60 for lift-gate service.

The instructions SUCK and are written in Engrish. "Danger of EXPLORATION!" which means danger of explosion! It arrived in 3 boxes and I just broke down the boxes and slid each section onto wheel dollies and moved them around pretty easy.

I'd post pics but don't know where to host them. What do you guys use?
