I've worked with motorcycle and automotive dealers representing factories for 30 years and the average technican skill level is under-whelming. Unless you are blessed to have a top notch shop in your area with technicians who have a dedication to quality and have been provided the proper equipment, you have to do it yourself.
I invested in a NoMar tire changer and it works great with my BST carbons.
i take mine to an independent guy, who not only lets me watch him do it, but I help as well, he knows their value and makes every effort to protect them. if you go to a shop that won't let you be part of the process, go somewhere else. the last thing you want is some tech bringing you back your scratched up rims and telling you thats just the way it is.

with that said, i must say the rims seems to be very strong and durable, mine are still very shiny with no hint of dulling due to raod spray.
