Default found 2 nails in my tires when painting calipers

Inever thought about this when buying my cv2's.....Do you guys take your tires to a regular fix a flat/tire place to get a flat fixed or a nail taken out patched or plugged ? Or do you take the tires to somewhere special to get that done. These are my 1st set of rims & never had to do this before. In my mind the machines in a regular tire shop are either to small to handle my rims or scratch the ish out of them....

a plug patch is what you want. most tire places have a modern rim clamp machine that doesn't touch the edge of the wheel. I just bought one with a leverless attachment that you don't even put a bar on the wheel.
