Default Recommend a Good Tire/Rim Shop?

Anybody know of a good tire/rim shop? I have had horrible experiences with my previous cars and getting new rims/tires mounted on. When the tire is put on the rim, they always seem to scratch the rim up pretty bad. I am not sure if they don't have the right equipment or if they just are just being careless or what, but I just got some LE's and DO NOT want to risk getting those scratched up at all, from some incompetent wheel shop?

Any personal recommendations are greatly appreciated.

BTW, I do know of TK Performance, but those guys arent a favorite of mine! Not too impressed with them.

Thanks Charles.

I might need to put the stocks back on for the Honda GP coming up. If so I might need two rears for the ol' 16's. I have some tread left but I was hoping to save that for a trip to Roebling in late May. I'll keep you posted. If you could, PM me what we're looking at for a pair.
