<< I had five wheel refinished by the folks at the Wheel Collision Center
 (http://www.wheelcollision.com/), and I have to give them a ringing
 endorsement.  I sent them the wheels via UPS, and all five wheels came back
 looking brand new.  They were cleaned & straightened.  Scratches & gouges
 were repaired.  They also had a new finish and clear-coat applied.

 This isn't cheap ($700 for five wheels), but in my opinion it was worth it.
