Brand New Rims Gouged
Title says it all...had an alignment completed on Saturday morning after getting the wheels/tires mounted Thursday night. 3 day old wheels gouged by utter carelessness of the alignment tech. This place sells expensive wheels too...
Taking her in tomorrow to see how they will handle my request of ordering me 4 new wheels.

I needed an alignment after the daystar was installed and after going to bigger tires (that happened to be mounted on aftermarket wheels). Since I had both installed within a week, I only did this once.
If I would have done these say months apart, I would have had an alignment twice then.
To your post; if you had bigger wheels/tires installed after your stocks were aligned (after the lift)...you should have had another alignment completed.

Link to wheels at discount:

Or here for other sizes:

That is the price from discount tire direct...your local store (presumably, as ours did) can beat that price by twenty bucks or so.
I've seen some others here with the same wheel in chrome, and another user with an Expedition has the Gunner 5, same wheel but bigger spokes due to having 5 lugs.

You would need to re-align in either situation, in order to prolong the life of your tires. If you plan to run the stock for a couple weeks before putting on the new ones and don't care about them, then I guess it doesn't matter. Direct your question to wandell, he'll be able to clear up any other tire/rim questions you might have. He's kind of the forum expert.
