    What are the available options for refinishing alloy rims. I thought they could be slightly grinded down to look new again, but when a company saw the pic below, they recommended having them powder coated because the clear coating was gone. I'd like them to look original, but could live with silverish powder coating. They want $160/ea.

    I bought a set of the Chou Seiki 15" aluminum alloy wheels a couple of years ago which looked bad with mold growing on it. I took it to a local wheel repair and had my set of wheels powder coated in black for $500 total.
