Default Getting wheels re-finished?

Does anyone know a good place to take wheels in to get re-done (face of the rim) into either a diamond cut finish or aluminum brushed silver finish? Anywhere local? or a good website? Not sure if powder coating is the same thing, but would prefer the diamond cut or aluminum brushed look. Thanks in advance....

I'm not sure how successful local wheel repair/refinish places would be with a diamond cut finish. They 'may' be able to do a brushed aluminum finish. Best way to find out is call them directly

I've used the guys over at http://www.wheeltechnologies.com/ or http://www.fixrim.com/

A lot of shops don't like to do multi piece wheels wether it be 2 piece or 3 piece. It takes a lot of extra attention and time to reassemble those rims perfectly, and sometimes it may come out unbalanced if they are even a quater of a millimeter off. Then they have to pull it apart and reasseble it again. There are shops that will do it, but be prepared to pay a bit more and possibly have to ship it out of state.
