Hello I just bought some 19" rims and tires for my celica. However this is my first set of low profile rims and I do not know who is *truly* qualified to mount and balance the tires on the rims without scratching them up causing any damage..... I live in Northern Wisconsin red neck land and no one has rims like this so does it take a specific tire mounting device for rims and tires this big or can any tire balancing place handle this?????

Thanks guys I just want to be safe these bas***** were not cheap!!!!

make sure the place you go to knows what they are doing. make sure that they reverse mount your setup and that the press and claws are plastic. not all places know what they are doing. since low profiles have stiffer side walls, some places might even use a crow bar to set the tire in place.
