Default Wheel mounting and balancing for "high end" wheels

Unfortunately, discount tires and les schwab tire centers have previously made scratches and marks while mounting and balancing new tires for me.

Does anyone know local shops that service "high end" wheels that I could take my wheels without them being damaged in the process?

Thanks,

I got my tires mounted on Work Meister S1 (I'm not sure Meisters are high end) from my friend Dan who works at Firestone in Lakewood.

I talked to a fella from achtuning and he actually recommended this place as well. I am assuming you had a good experience with carnutz with your set of wheels and tires. And since the wheels on the GTR qualifies as "high end" I will have to check this place out. Thanks Ray.

carnutz has a good machine which is half the battle ....... I actually did the 20" HRE's at www.ftlperfomance.com but didn't want to direct "high risk" business toward Russ
What size and type/brand wheels and tires are we talking about here?

I was just going to say

Right there next to Park Place on 20th in Bellevue. If you notice the cars that get sold at Park Place then you might feel comfortable knowing what Car Nuts works on regularly as well as some pretty high roller stuff from all over. Had some cali dorks with fake teath pull up in some one of a kind prototype wide body AMG wile I was there getting my fenders cut Car was probably worth more then Ray's house, or 4 of mine
