This is can also be DIY.....
...depending on wheel type, finish, and your personal set of tools/experience.
Well, this is what I did on my winter set of B6S4 Avus's, which cost me $250 because 2 were fairly well rashed - on a couple, I took out MASSIVE rash with a wire wheel on my grinder (which was enough to abrade the aluminum to smooth it out), Sprayed em with fill-in primer, sanded them, hit them with a silver wheel paint, and then clear coated. It took me like an hour for both, and although they're not "factory perfect", they're pretty darn close (especially from more than 3 feet).
