Wheel restoration

How whould I go about getting wheels restored? I dont mean paint work on them, but rather the actual wheel. How or where can I restore a wheel that has curb rash on the lip.

Thanks

A couple years ago I had my wheels redone by a distributor for Transwheel. I was referred to him buy the local dealer. I guess they send out bent rims and stuff to them all the time.

I had my wheels done because my red inserts were turning pink. There redid them in powdercoat and gave them a lifetime warranty for defects They came out awesome. This was a couple years ago, but it cost $125/wheel for refinish. I am sure it would be higher if there is curb rash.

Nope, that is their standard dealer price for wheel refinishing.
They do a fantastic job, and they hold up for years!!
