to answer my own question...
went to yahoo and typed in waxing rims. Got this site, with some good advice. Go to the post at the bottom, the guy does a good job of explaining.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27477">http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27477</a</li></ul>

Here's a helpful link... (Whoops... for NateWhite)

The refinishing may be something you can handle yourself, depending on how bad the wheels actually are. I've helped do about a dozen lip replacements on BBS RMs (from VWs) now, and although it's a PITA, it doesn't require that much skill.
Also, to answer your question from a few days ago that I never got around to responding to, the tool you need for those bolts is an 8mm (IIRC) 12-point socket. If yours are 3-piece wheels (I think they are), you need a 10mm for the inside as well.
I hope to get around to refinishing my beauties soon as well...

Oh man, those are SWEET...
Mine are 15", 4×108. I'm kinda mad because they will limit me in terms of upgrading my brakes... oh well, I guess I'll have to focus on extreme weight reduction!
