Default Wheels where to get powder coated?

I was wondering a good place to get my wheels powder coated. I'm in the Spanaway/Graham area so anything in Seattle area is fine.

I have some GTS that I want done in Gold but am still deciding if i want to paint them instead of powder coating them. What finish would you guys recommend (paint or powder) and I know the benefits of each?

Powder coating has caused wheel failure. Some forms of aluminum are altered by temperature of bake cycle.

Thats makes sense.....it's just I've seen Volks powder coated but those were forged and of course i'm not willing to sacrifice safety for looks...i'll do some more research on it and PM Brian at Volk Racing.
