Default C6 Alignment Help Needed

Went to the States last week and had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Runflats installed on my 2008. Big improvement over the factory Goodyears!!

The shop did a great job but called off doing the alignment becasuse they were afraid of scratching my (stock)chrome rims.

They had good Hunter equipment but these runflats fit REALLY close to the rim and they didn't figure they could get rimclamp without possible damage.

I don't have any experience with this situation.

Can anyone recommend a Corvette-friendly shop in the GTA with the necessary expertise and equipment to do this job?

Thx.
