mounting ? Some of you guys have wide wheels finished either in chrome, powder coat or base/clear paint. How are they mounted without chipping the the finish off the rim lip? I had just repainted my 11" ZR1's to match the stock width wheels I have and I'm a little concerned about getting them mounted without marring the paint. For instance, I was checking out Cop Car's white wheels and they didn't look damaged at all. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I know that some places are better than others. I went one time, and I wish I could remember where it was, and the machine they used had some sort of apparatus with a little wheel or something on it that helped push the bead into place or something like that, it never seemed to touch the lip. Does anyone know if Goodyear, Sears, Firestone even Dealerships have some sort of tire mounting machine like that? I know I'm not the only one who has sweated a little bit when it comes to risking the finish on your wheels.
