Default Wheels worthwhile to refinish??

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to get some opinions on these SSR wheels. All 4 wheels are started to have issues w/the polish finish and some have some curbs marks on them. I was quoted by a local wheel repair shop that it will be around 200-250 each to totally refinish the wheels. Just wondering if its worth it so I was thinking of possibly getting rid of them to get something else.
Thanks
Tony

At $800 - $1,000 my vote would be 'no.' I'd definitely solicit other quotes, though - those numbers seem high to me.

No offense intended here, but that is a lot of curb rash. If you're in the market maybe it's a good idea to consider some more sidewall protection?

I thought it was kinda high as for quotes go. I actually got the wheels that way and dont like driving around with all the curb marks. I might just have to put my other 19s back on that have no curbs...lol
thanks
