Google "California Alloy Wheel Refinishing". You will find something.
My last job cost about $130 a wheel for total refinishing and truing. (Wheel Collision Center, in PA) Many refinishers have (or can get) extra wheels to replace the one you lost.
I learned the hard way that when you get ONE wheel refinished, the rest look...kind of dreary.![ugh](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ugh.gif)

the cost of refinishing/repairing OEM wheels probably ends up costing you more than finding an entire used set off CL or something.
But if you have the desire & or money to repair/refinish your wheels my buddy's shop does all that.

The question was asked about removing scratches. Well, I've done that. It is VERY difficult to get the same sheen or finish as OE, after removing a gash by sanding then clear-coating. But it CAN be done.
