Default Repair or buy new ? (rims)

I got quoted around $250-$400 to repair these but thats what it would cost to just buy new rims Any ideas or does anyone know of some business in the Norfolk/VA Beach/Chesapeake area that would take the scratches out cheaper ? There is no bending or cracks on the rims and all 4 rims need some love.

BTW - I did not do this to my own rims - thats the way they came on the car.

Drop is no longer practical for me but I would love to do something about the rims.

how much does that normally run on 17s and do I still have to smooth the scratches out first or will the powder coating magically conceal the blemishes ?

I can fix these for you Martin, but it'll take a couple days.
