Probably a stupid question, but ..
To make a long story short, I'm finally ready to powdercoat the 19" OEM Rays on my G35 Coupe. I'll be taking them to LPC -- but I'm assuming they only deal with powdercoating, not with tire shenanigans. So my question is -- will you guys be able to dismount my current bald tires, and then mount/balance new tires once the wheels are finished being powdercoated? The tires will be 225/40/19 on the front, and 245/40/19 on the rear. Thanks much!

I actually ordered the tires this morning .. and they're already on their way to my house! I wish I'd thought to have 'em shipped to your shop, then I wouldn't have to worry about shoving a bunch of wheels AND tires into my bleepin' car, LOL.
Anyway -- do I need to make an appointment for that kinda stuff? Or is it okay if I just walk in with my stuff and say, "Haaaaay, I need help with my tires, plz!"

Also, since I need time to figure out how the hell I'm gonna transport the pile of wheels and tires, I prolly won't be getting to the shop till the beginning of May.

^^ So you're senile too, huh? LOL.
As far as the alignment goes .. I'd been planning on picking up some wheel spacers for my G .. Maybe I'll just drop those off with you guys, too. Then we can do the whole show -- pop the new tires on the freshly powdercoated wheels, install spacers, do an alignment, and then my G will be set for the summer. I assume you guys can do spacers? They're gonna be Ichiba V2, 20mm front and 25mm rear. I'm a little nervous about putting them on, since I've read some horror stories about spacers .. but I figure that as long as they're torqued down properly (about 80 ft/lbs) and I keep an eye on 'em, the wheels should stay on the car alright.
