Claims the machine is OK for Ferrari, Porsche, etc. Most shops have older model machines that mess up the rim and were designed for steel more than alloy wheels. Some machines have plastic runners that are supposed to not scratch the metal but you just read how they sometimes pick up metal flakes leading to the problem we are discussing.
