17147254445 is the number to call tell Paolo Minh sent you. They go to a specific shop to get their tires mounted without scratching the wheels. If you would rather go somewhere else there's drift speed a block down from the shop. They do dismounting and mounting for like 60 bucks.

they re-barreled my blitz technospeed Z1 and had them powdercoated black. Paolo and Ralph are honest and have good customer service.

LAX wheel in LA can do it but warning, every place i've contacted wants a buttload of money to do a proper (ie-lathe/polish/thin powdercoat/etc...) japanese style diamond cut finish. it is expensive.

Simple Wheel Werks polishing, powder coating, refinishing, etc. work is amazing. I've seen their work.I'm getting my wheels fully polished and I will post pictures once it is done. I would recommend them and they do it at a good price. Ask for Paolo and tell him Alex sent you and he'll treat you well.
