Is there any specific machines out there that will NOT damage my rims. They are the ROH Adrenaline and they need to specifically be reverse mounted. I had them put on and one rim got all messed up and replaced. I don't want to have to deal with that every time I want to go to new rubber.

Can anybody help in letting me know what machine I should be looking to be used? That or a shop in CT or even in the surrounding states that would not mess up my rims!

 

We have installers listed on our web site. Take a look under your zip code and give them a call.

Keep in mind that it is often the USER of the mounting machine that causes the problem, not the machine itself. However some machines are easier to use and are less likely to cause wheel damage. I have finally found a few good shops around South Florida that either use good machines or have attentive technicians. The high-end Hunter machines seem like the easiest to use. They have plastic sleeves and nylon rollers that minimize the chance of rim damage. But they cost around $7.5k, about 2-3X a standard tire mounting machine, so aren't around that much yet.

After having one shop damage my stock rims and deny responsibility for it I have been very straightforward with prospective shops and ask them to guarantee no rim damage. If they can't, I'll go somewhere else. HTH
