Default DFW: alightment on firehawk wheels?

went to get an alignment on the car the other day... went to discount tire on bryant irving (probably my first mistake), and they said they dont do alignments inhouse, so they sent me to the lee myles service center across the street... they tell me that their alignment rack wont work on my wheels because it has nothing to grab onto

if any of you guys know a good place to get an alignment that will be able to work with these wheels, that would be great.

the first one is what i was talking about

might be a short drive but I'd go a distance to get a proper alignment.

i just gave them a call, they seemed very accomodating, but they are only open M-F, 8-5:30... i work M-F, so there is no way i'd get to dallas in that time frame
