Where to have rims refinished?

Anyone know or recommend a good local shop to refinished the polish lips on my rims? Also, what is the average price to have each rim refinished? Thanks.

Nice Jline's. I'm trying to recall the name of the shop that can do the wheels for you, but because I've been inhaling paint fumes for the last several hours while refinishing my cousins' wheels on his G, I can't think of it.

They're also in Novato.

Dealer wanted $250 for my slight curb rashed 19 using those guys...lol...thanx but I'll pass on that...lol
Better to go with that Company by yourself and not through Dealer.
Might even be cheaper if you go to that company rather than their mobile service coming out to you.
$125 rings a bell with me too with that company.

I have a place in the city S.F. called KwickSilver Wheel Pros on 476 5th Street, S.F. 94107 (between harrison and bryant) #415.543.5945 or email them at KwickSilverSF@gmail.com the average cost per wheel is $175 but it all depends on how bad the damage is, try them out they can do other stuff too!

Rite Way Wheel in Walnut Creek, CA. The repaired my oem 19's after a tire installer scratched 2 of them up. It was 110/wheel but the tire installer paid :-)

But they look great now. The shop is a shack, but the people are very cool and did a fast and very good job.

Do any of you know if they should be able to fix my curbed rim? What im worried about is the rims are forged and clear-coated and that they will have a hard time fixing it. Did anyone get their aftermarket rims repaired befored locally that they would recommend? I'd appreciate anyone's help on this.
