It would be a bit of a drive for you, but Radial Tire in Silver Spring can refinish your wheels. Last time I had a set done, it was $150 per wheel (17").

Talk to one of the local dealers. There is a company that comes around with a mobile trailer that has all the equipment in the trailer. I had bought a CPO Audi that had some curb rash on two of the wheels. I dropped them off at the dealer and they were fixed the next day and you couldn't tell where the damage was. Very good work.

Stopped out at Alloy Wheel Repair in Gaithersburg, MD. Now Im certainly not an expert on Gaithersburg but this felt entirely off the 270 path and into farmland. Wonderful facility, can powder coat wheels, paint wheels, repair bent alloy wheels, has a wheel specific CNC machine that can touch the face of machined face wheels and set a blueprint for the wheels surface and then take a few thousands off a machined face wheel. Very impressed with his facility, he indicated that he also had a couple of fully outfitted vans that go out and do the dealer thing, fixing prepping for sales/service.
As someone who has paid several powder coaters, paint shops, wheel repair guys, this place is the nicest facility I have ever seen for this process. Shop is at 24221 Laytonsville Rd Gaithersburg, MD 20882 301-573-7468 Casey Parkin recommended them to me. Joe Dale YMMV

This. A+. I am super picky, had my cup 2s refinished 3 times, and they always were blue. Joe did a great job! I have sent a dozen people there since and all have been happy.
