Default New Wheels are Perfect, Would Like to Keep them that Way

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)

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.
