Default Refinishing factory wheels

My car came with those highly polished TT type five spoke wheels that look great on the A6.

Time has not been good to them however and they have gotten quite tarnished over the years.

I wonder if anyone can recommend a wheel refinishing outfit that can really strip these wheels, polish them like they came from the factory and re-clear them. The few that I have seen redone just don't have the original factory fit and finish that I would like to see.

Thanks

Search the internet using "metal polishing automotive" and find someone local. I used to work in a industrial plating/polishing shop and there are polishing services in major cities.
