Nope. I didn't have any problems with them damaging the wheels either.

they are tires. all you have to do is train a monkey to use the machine and tools. walmart might even have insurance to cover your sweet ass 19s if they fuck them

Here is my experience with Walmart. As I just had tires mounted. They will only mount tires on a size rim of the car you role up on. I brought my tires and rims to a Walmart. They were all in the car, rims and tires, and all. They just had to mount them, I would throw them back in the car, and drive home to put them on the car they were going on. They told me that the car I drove up in doesn't offer the size rim as an optional size from the manufacturer, they couldn't mount them. Even after I told them they are not even going on that car. Dude said it was policy. A liability issue. I have no idea how it can be a liability issue if I put them on the wrong car. Anyways, if you do go to Walmart and they give you this same shit, tell them that those rims are going on a trailor. They charge $5 extra and they shut up.
