Default Wheel painters/powdercoaters in Maryland? + your opinion

Are there any places that do a good job painting or powdercoating wheels in the baltimore MD area?

and what do you think, spray the "bolts" gunmetal too?


or leave them silver?

The thing is, these wheels are polished with no coat of clear. These are going on a grand cherokee which WILL see snow and plenty of salt. The salt will just eat up the raw metal horribly. So at the very least they would need some good clear coating. Or is clear coating polished metal a bad idea? Can it still tarnish under the clear?

The WJ is one of the hardest vehicles to find decent wheels for. If anyone can point me in the direction of another 5-spoke wheel with a nice lip, be my guest. It's a 5x5 bolt pattern.

Here's a set of Frontline wheels only available in Japan I chopped a while ago just to get an idea.

I called 'ye old wheel shop and the guy said you can't clear coat over high polished aluminum. I'm not going to get these wheels now. A mod can delete this thread if they feel so inclined.
