going to self refurb my turinis..tyre fit Q

[howie p]

once ive finished refurbing them i'll need tyres fitted.

will this process cause damage to the paint. suppose what i want to know is, during the removal and fitting process does anything (ie metal machine used) other than the tyre come in contact with the alloy.

hope this makes sence..

anyone fitted tyres before.

cheers chaps

Most tyre fitters will damage the wheels, just tell them to be extra carefull and if they f**k it up they will be paying. It is possible for them to do it without damaging anything.

Depends if the fitters heavy handed or has hay bale hands. To be honest if the paint flakes/comes off when the tyres are being fitted I'd say the wheels hadn't been refurbed properly.

I wouldn't worry though theres no reason to damage the alloys when fitting tyres.
