Make sure they have a decent tire mounting machine and dont scratch up the rims. Coys recommended stick on weights for the balance.
Also make sure you bring the tool and valve stems for the tire installers as they are flat on the rim....You car will have a nice new look

If there is sufficient rim, I would find a shop with a good computerized balancer and use the "hidden weight" mode with coated weights.

I have stick on weight on my 20in. rims and I have not had a problem for 4 years. I guess I`m lucky.

I had sticker weights on my old after market Durango wheels for six years and my new wheels have had stickers for almost two now.

I saw a couple of cars with these wheels at the Branson Mo Show. They are some of the nicest wheels I've seen. THey look better than my Boyd's and don't cost near as much.
