You can try Kal Tire or Tire Craft or the Tire Warehouse but I don't which one is good.

But I actually I think an extra set of rims is better coz the roads in e-town or other places in Alberta is not good for power coated wheels (ie easy to scratch, the ice melters, etc...)

Actually V6, powder-coating wheels is much better for winter than factory paint. In fact it is probably the most durable finish other than electroplating or anodizing.

I-Kid, what are you thinking of doing? Depending on your puposes I have 3 companies that do coatings for me but they are all specialists in different areas. PM me before Wednesday night, After that I am racing... again.
