[QUOTE="Ky GT500, post: 14043536, member: 149437"] Don't know how isolated you are where you live,,I would go visit as many tire change places that I could. Ask to see their machines, stress to them about how fragile these rims are, being they are a painted rim. I'm friends with 3 different tire change places but chose the 4th place over the rest. Tire Discounter, only done business with them one other time. My main tire place, Goodyear, their tire change machine was the oldest, the heads were bare metal, at least all the rest had plastic coated heads. I know the head is not supposed to rest on the rim, but I want the plastic coated for the extra protection. The manager at Tire Discounter said he had guys that could just about change a set of steel rim tires and wheels faster than he could ring the customer up,,,,But,,,,he has a tech that has the care and expertise to change out these low pro tires, will take his time, and get it done right for me. Like I said, I will be back there with them while they are changing them, watching to make sure every reasonable care is taken to not damage the rims. The other two places, just didn't give me a very good feeling that they would take care of the rims. Like I was bothering them by explaining how to be careful with them. Yep,,I'm probably being anal about the rims, but I don't want them damaged by a tech that worked at Burger King last week and now he's the tire changer this week. :nonono: [/QUOTE]
