I just had an apex that came with the unidirectional tire on backwards. A black wheel. I had the same concerns. I took it to the dealer since they SHOULD have good equipment and be used to handling nice wheels (with customers who’d lose their shit if they caused damage). They didn’t scratch it. It was the Sudbury dealership. Years ago I trusted a Monro tire center to mount tires from tire rack on bmw wheels and they didn’t damage anything. I would be careful going to a gas station though. I’d stick with someone who specializes in tires.
