Hi guys, can someone post a pic of the correct mounting hooks/adapters that are needed to mount to the MM lipless wheels without damaging them? I just got my wheels back from having the edges re-cleared because of the previous shop who used the wrong mounting hooks. I am going to have the car aligned tomorrow at a reputable shop but want to bring a picture of the right mounting hooks so I don't have my wheels damaged again. I hate lipless wheels. They look cool but cause so many problems.

I don't have a pic, but the guy at the dealership says the adapters look like "duck bills".

Tips that contact the rims are hard plastic (maybe delrin?). Clamps that hold them on are great big meat-hook looking things that attach the fixtures to the rim by grabbing the tire tread.

Thank you guys, I am all set, the alignment shop I am going to does have the tire mounted fixtures for lipless rims, I just spoke with the owner.

Thanks again
