    I had some wheels painted. Basically the non removable “ring”. They were painted around the edge of the ring where the edge of tire would seat. Any issues painting this spot? I hadn’t envisioned painting back that far just wondering since its more of a gloss paint if there would be any issue with the tire gripping the wheel

    Tire mounting issues? No. the tire will seat like normal.

    Tire technician issues? Oh yes. There is a good probability that their less-than-careful pry tools will chip the everloving snot out of the paint. I've had techs treat my wheels with kid gloves, and I've had techs that gave no fucks. Your experience may vary.
