Dependable Wheel & Tire Repair in Renton (http://www.dependablewheel.com/). They taken good care of me. They gave me a partial sponsorship running in the WWSCC last year for wheel and tire services. Tim Foster (the owner) is a great guy to just kick back and shoot the breeze with.

I have some rash on my Z wheels but I'm holding off getting them done since I'm not sure how exact a match I can get.

I'm glad I wasn't around when you did that. Hope no children heard you.
I have a small dose of rash on one wheel. I didn't know what wheel rash was before I got the Z. It's too easy to do.
