New chrome wheel installation

Is there any special precautions a tire shop should take when installing chrome C5 wheels? I guess I am also asking can a run of the mill tire shop do this without damaging the chrome wheels. Thanks gentlemen for you insight.

I have had the local Discount Tire change my chrome Speedlines on my C5 about 24 times (24 individual tire changes) the past 14 years - never had a problem.

Find a shop that does a lot of business in custom wheels. Most likely they will have the proper equipment to install tires and balance the wheels without doing any damage to them.

Not that it has anything to do with the original post, but I have that same carpet in three rooms in my house.
Fantastic color.
