Find a tire shop with a Leverless mounting machine or one with an automated arm (hands off tire removal with only a nylon wheel touching the inside bead of the rim) . You can find some good examples on the Hunter Engineering website.
This is not a paid endorsement.. lol

But I can vouch for the experience at Discount Tire. The last few BMWs I've had all ran 19" wheels and I have never had an issue with them damaging wheels.

They earned my business when I rolled in there with a flat run flat and they patched it for free. Of course I went back there ever since.
