An alternative to Jeremy's referral is Wheel Enhancement in Culver City. John Brown is a good guy and their work is outstanding. (310) 836-8908.

Wheel enhancement would not refinish my Ruf wheels...they said no "aftermarket" wheels.

You can do it yourself, just time and some muscular. I and several guys used to do this for extra money. If you decide to give it a try and need some basic steps, PM me.

Wheels America isn't perfect, but they're fast and cheap. They specialize in collision repair, so their stuff looks pretty good, not concourse. I used them hundreds of times when I was managing a bodyshop, it's only $120.00 per wheel if they're not chrome, and about 2-3 days. They'll fax you a UPS label, so you don't pay any shipping. www.fixrim.com
If you're driving the car alot, they should be fine, if you're very picky, you might want to use the other suggested shops. I've seen Wheel Enhancement's work, and it's absolutely perfect.

I forgot, when you do send your wheels in, it's a good idea to write your name and phone number on the wheel on the inside, between the beads, like where the air goes. It could save you a delay.
