Rim Restoration

I have four 15 x 7 Turbocast Rims that have minor curb rash that need restoration. Does any one a good place that restores them?

There was no damage to them that needing fixing, just the widening.
One wheel before.....




After (i sent 2 wheels, so no guarantee it is the SAME wheel. might be the other wheel i sent) came back wrapped in shrink wrap, which I cut the face off to see them (the carbon fiber pattern was just me playing with the cf pattern vinyl on the wheel).....


And after the tires were mounted (i never fully unwrapped them, to avoid any possibility of me damaging them) & the tire shop said nothing about problems mounting & balancing.....
