Default Shops for polishing wheels in 757

So I just got some new wheels lips are in desperate need of refinishing, I know a few powder coaters but I am looking for a good local shop to blast them and re-polish them

Any help would be appreciated!

You should chemically strip them and do them yourself. Blasting them will make for a shitty polishing job and all it is is sanding/buffing.

I was worried about that... but the lips got a shit ton of chips and some corrosion formed... will a chemical stripper handle that?

Ehhh, you won't know until you try. The corrosion could be do deep you can't polish it out too. I've seen that on a few wheels before, it sucks because you don't know for sure until you are basically done with all of the hard work.
