Painting wheels on 911

I want to get my Targa 4S wheels painted. Can anyone recommend a specific shop in the south part of metro Denver?

Thanks in advance

powder coat may be more durable, but you can't match the shine of the body paint...fwiw. sorry I had mine done out of state.

Black spokes. For the outer rim I am considering black, leaving it silver, or orange.
Can you photoshop this type of thing?

I've never seen a set of wheels photoshopped :-) Is that durable like powdercoat but shine like paint?

Yeah, it's been one of those smartass days :-) Where is Coop and Dennis? I feel some ornery coming on.

I'd go with the same black that is on your side stripe
it would look really good. You could leave part of the tim silver and the spokes black like the stripe.

if you can do paint, fine, powder coat is good to Chris has a good contact.

I went to Blue flame. Pretty cheap, about $100 per wheel. Only annoying part is removing wheels and tires and then remounting. I am still thinking about it. Dennis offered temporary use of an old set of wheels.
