i bought my new wheels about a month ago w/ brand new tires, and i went to firestone to get an alignment, but i was worrying about it might damage the paint on the wheel. so i was just gonna ask if anyone had bad exprience. my rims are not powdercoated, and it's from factory(rays). thanks~


btw. do you know any other firestone besides woodenville, cuz bellevue and burien firestone said they can't fit my car on their alignment rack because my car is too low, and i waited at woodenville firestone to get my alignment done for about 2 hours and they didn't even started it so i just decide to it somewhereelse.

 

i ahve used firestones alignment and they didnt really screw the wheels/paint up. i was running a 215/35/18 tire on the car and tehy did ok.

 

i had some painted rims that had tires removed and put on. no harm was done to the paint at all. i did spray a bunch o' clear coat on it though..

 

i had my black Enkei's done at Speedware and they didnt mess up anything.

 

Yeah I had a few cars denied at burien firestone for being to low. They use a older hunter alignment machine that hooks on the outside of your rims. I've used this machine before and they do have a chance of nicking your outer lips. Try going to Hiline burien frame for your alignments. They have a newer alinment machine and done plenty of my dumped cars. Same price as firestone.
