Default Looking for a Shop?

I just bought new wheels and they will be here this friday. So I'm thinking about painting the inside gloss black before putting them on my car. Do you guys know any good shop that paints wheels?

These are the wheels I bought=https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...-custom-2.html

But I find a shop in Mukilteo called Powder Coating Inc. I will check them out.
Also what about a good shop that can do stretched tires?

powdercoating inc does excellent work, as does cascade wheel repair (lynnwood). painting is not durable on wheels, definitely powdercoat if you can.

stretched tires = fail stamp! :]
