News rims... now I need an "Excotic" alignment???

Hey, I just got new 18" rims put on my TL... but MR. Tire said I should get an "excotic alignment" ($120) done or else the tires would wear out faster... I said "no thanks"... was he just trying to up-sell me or do I really need an alignment on a car that only has 4k miles?

if you just changed your wheels, there is no need for an alignment, an alighnment is only needed if you modify the suspension

you mean exotic alignment like an exotic dancer? does it come with a lap dance? usually when just changing out the rims you don't need an alignment. you need to have the wheels balanced but that comes with mounting the tires when you get it. if the alignment on the car is off then they must have done something to make it not align correctly.
