A touch of class auto salon in North Providence is probably the best in this area to touch custom wheels . Everyone else don't think nothing of scuffing up the wheels . Or putting the wheel weights on the outside of the wheel to balance them , instead of the inside stick on weights .
I went to 6 different tire shops and wanted a guarantee that my Savani wheels would not get damaged and this is the only place that had no problem with it . Very professional .
Good luck

Rolands was actually messed up due to a terrible worker they had there he used no bead lub and really f'd mine up big time removing them... I had them mounted there the first time and at the time they had a really smart knowledgable older gentleman who did a great job.

Some people are hacks and just don't give a F. especially in the automotive fields.

I will call autosalon but I really hope they take a respect for other peoples stuff.

Remember all these shops have liability insurance. A local tire shop scratched up my new
factory SS wheels. Long story short, Travelers paid up out of court using my $3000.00
estimate. Just make sure you show the shop beforehand the condition of the wheels they
will be working on. If they mess them up, It's their problem.

Not really worth the hassle , you just want the job done right the first time .
