Abstract
A method for the operation of a vehicle wheel service system configured to illuminate a surface of a vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly. The method includes the steps of mounting a vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly onto the vehicle wheel service system, coating a surface of the vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly with a medium to alter the optical characteristics of the vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly surface, and illuminating the optically altered surface of the vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly.
