Boston area tire shops I can trust with my new wheels?
I'm looking for a shop that I can trust not to scratch and scuff and smudge my new wheels. I have PTSD due to even reputable tire shops and body-shops making mistakes.
I've bought the wheels 4+ months ago, coated them with ceramic coating + sealant and now I just sit and stare at them. It's time I throw some tires on and enjoy the drop in rotation mass.
Any recommended shops around Boston area?

I took mine to the Porsche dealership.
They use the latest Hunter Road force system.
Also, the wheel weights are made for them.
Here is a picture of them. They are made by Wurth and are concaved and depending on your wheel color, Porsche paints them on the spot. Expect an up charge but feel confident of ZERO issues not dents or scratches on your wheel.

+1 the Porsche dealer. Only place I get tires put on. Careful with the PCCB.

Speaking from personal experience; as you've ceramic coated them, remind the guy fitting them to use a light solvent on the barrel before fitting weights, otherwise they may not stick that well...

Porsche dealer especially with center lock wheels. I’ve used Westwood Porsche twice without any problems. Of course you pay dealer premium but I find it’s worth it.

That is the other variable! With my CL’s I don’t trust anyone other than Porsche dealer. Certain things you just can’t do it any other way.
