acura dealer
hey guys i just put comptech springs and sways on my car and ordered 19's as well, but do you think if i take my car to the dealer they will be able to align my car without scratching my rims? i am worried that my rims will be damage or something...

steer clear
Watch out for Tire Discounters. Free rotation and alignment, but they scratched up the wheels on my 99 Prelude big time and then tried to deny it and blame it on salt and clear coat wearing off.

The diameter of the wheels doesn't matter if it's done before or after. Now say you had the back and/or front dropped an uneven amount (i.e.- Front -3" and Back -2" instead of Front -3" and Back -3") the caster angle will most likely not be right when it's done. That's why GOOD tire shops tell people that if they carry tools or something else heavy in the trunk all the time to go ahead and leave it in there so the caster will be correct (and the car sitting at the same rake angle) when it leaves the shop.

goto belle tire......they do a good job with tire alignment. I had my 18s on when I went there, and they are REAL careful, especially if u stay there and watch them. Don't get lazy, sit their for the hour and watch ur car!
good luck

not to be mean but i dont think belle tire is the same here as it is there.
also latley i have noticed that customer service is in the toilet. no one really gives a **** it seems like. they either asses from the begining or they act like they give a **** so they can get your assurance, then do what ever they **** they want.....
its these young people, they are uneducated and have attitudes from hell.

If you really want to get the alignment after you get the rim, talk to service manager, let him know you really care about the rim. Show him the rims and make sure you'll get it back same condition. And tell him you're picky!!!
