Aluminum is softer than steel. The aluminum wheels are subject to scratches etc.
I would expect many places avoid aluminum wheels on golf carts and cars. Many people are not aware of damages to their wheels from hitting curbs etc and once the new tires are mounted will think the shop did it.
Days of old, you would fix a bicycle flat with a steel screw driver. Today, with aluminum wheels you SHOULD use plastic levers.
