You may want to try Walmart. Seriously. My understanding is that Walmart has the newest Hunter tire machines that have rim protectors and make it virtually impossible for the tech to scratch your wheel.

I've had tires mounted by Radial Tire and they didn't mess up my wheels, but these were for a Saab with 235/45-17 tires. I've heard some mixed reviews of them otherwise. You could also try Ye Olde Wheel Shop in Elkridge. I know the owner's son and a bunch of people I know have had tires installed there.

Walmart???

Just look for a place that has a leverless/touch less mounting machine and guarantees their work. Let them know first hand that you don't want a single scratch on the rims and watch them install the tires. Tire Rack usually list whether a shop has a leverless/touchless or not.
