Some of the shops I've found on the internet include:

Ye Olde Wheel Shop
Wheel Worx
Rim Doctor
Wheel Doctor
AWRS Wheel Repair

I am looking to get a set of factory 2009 19" sport wheels restored. The wheels look to be round but every one has a little curb rash and minor scratches. Here's what I'm looking for in the job:
-dismount the tires from the wheels
- check all 4 wheels for trueness, straightness, and runoff and fix if needed
- repair the blemishes (including any wheel rash, bends if any, scratches, makrings etc...)
- refinish the alloys in the factory color
- clearcoat, buff, and make the wheels essentially new again
- if possible mount and road force balance the tires back on the wheels

Does anyone have any recommendations?
Had 2 instances of curb rash repaired w/ AWRS (awful, I know...). Each time costed $150, which seems a little steep, BUT they looked and still look like brand new. The dude's real quick, and travels between dealerships in NOVA and MD, so call ahead and he'll probably be near you at some point during the week.
