Default Any good wheel restoration places in tampa?

I found a set of HREs but the guy spraypainted the centers! They are 3 piece wheels so I would like to just take them apart and have the centers powdercoated or painted professionally and then put back together, is there anyone in tampa that can take on this sort of task? I would take them apart myself but not sure about how to put them back together...dont want the wheel coming apart or anything

don't take apart the wheels, if I were you I would see if the place can take care of the task without having to disassemble the wheel. Many people have ran into issues from taking wheels apart and putting them back together, professionals or not.

Believe it or not a "pro" was the one that touched my Fikse's, thanks to that I had to eat about $3500 and cut my losses.....threw the wheels in the trash.
