So Im getting my car back today and the shops around me that do alignments wont touch my car because they are too afraid of scratching or chipping the coating on them.

Where the hell do I go to get my car aligned then? Does anyone have insight for me?

The car handles well right now, and it might not be too far off, or off at all, but I want to make sure I get it in within the next week or two.

 

hmm wierd if you spray painted them i could see why but powder coating should be just fine IMO

 

I went to mr.tire a fellow member works at the one in mapleshade and they did a great job and never scratched my work miesters

 

I thought powdercoating was really strong, so I assume you'd be ok touching them

 

Tell them they're OEM wheels. They won't know the difference.

Mounting tires on rims is where I get concerned, NOT an alignment.

 

RT Tuning did mine...didn't you go there last time we got that group rate after the spring install?

 

I can't see why a shop would give you a hard time. There are alot of OEM rims on standard cars that are powder coated from the factory. As Freq said, mounting tires is the bigger issue, not an alignment. Most alignments these days are done with the lasers and the tools barely clamp tight to the rims.

 

Anyone interested in trying to get a group rate at RT Tuning?
