The new tire machines will not damage the paint on you rims. Just be sure not to use very harsh cleaners on the fresh paint so it doesn't lose its gloss.

Just be sure to let them know that you just spent $$ to have them painted and you don't want any chips in the paint, no rough handling. As Dick mentioned, today's tire mounting machines don't damage the edge of the rims, they don't even touch them.

Since everybody's Momma has a mini-van with alloy wheels, these new machines made for the now-common alloys are way more sophisticated in the way the rims are handled.

Be sure to specify stick-on weights on the inside only too.
