I've had terrible luck with shops screwing up my wheels with their tire irons when installing new tires.

What equipment should I make sure a shop has if I don't want one #$%! mark left on my wheels?

Anyone have any experience with a top notch shop in the Maryland area?

Thanks.

I would go with a shop that is EXPERIENCED in changing tires of Euro GT cars and have a Hunter TC3250 tire changer which is specifically designed to protect soft alloy wheels (such as found on Euro GT cars) or odd sized applications (such as super wide alloy/tire combos found on the likes of Viper, ZR1 etc)

Did you get a set of new wheels?

Thanks Michael. Do you happen to know if experience with alloy wheels applies to alloy/painted wheels?

Yun, I did but the plan did not include putting them on the ZR-1. :thumbsup:
