Will Maaco paint wheels?

OK, yeah I know the general consensus of this board is maaco sucks. But there's a maaco nearby that actually does pretty good work. I'm painting the car black w/ white stripes and I want to paint the wheels accordingly, will maaco do that? if not who will? can I do it myself and have it look good?

I'd imagine they'd paint anything you dropped in front of them!

Yeah Thats pretty much true. The Macco my cousin used to work at painted a bunch of stuff for the airport. They put the paint in a powerwasher and put the stuff to paint on the floor and basically covered eveything in paint!

Actually, knowing Maaco, unless you specify not to, you'll probably get the car back with painted wheels, tires, headlights, taillights, windshield and windows. Some of the better Maaco shops give you a razor blade to scrape the paint off the windows.
