Wheeler cleaner left stains on them, so I'd assume to get back to oem color?
Long story short, the idiot who detailed.my car used something on the wheels and they are dark now, but I don't mind, I had my car in for service a week ago and someone their curbed my wheel about 2.5Inch gash, they said they would fix it but then told me it make that one wheel stand out. I agreed so I asked for a price to refinish the other 3 wheels and one is on them. So it would cost me essentially 450 for all 4 wheels to be refinished and bright back to oem color.

My dealer charges $129 a wheel if I recall. And OEM FSport wheels are painted.

$75 sounds about right for a basic color for powder coating. The OEM F sport wheels is more of a metallic finish so it should be around $85 per wheel for powder coating. A good powder coater should be able to replicate painted finish without all that orange peel. That cost should include paint stripping as well as most powder coating shops should paint strip in house or have their own go to places where they get great pricing.

I paid $130/wheel to have my IS wheels repaired. That included some curb rash repair and repainting. I did it through my dealer.

$150 per wheel is a bit high, but that's to be expected from a dealership. The dealership would definitely be painting them.
You could probably get them done for $100-125 per wheel at an independent shop ($300-375 total), but if the dealer is already repairing 1 you might run into issues with paint match on the other three. That might not be worth the headache to save $100 bucks.
