mask the middle up, rims would have to be rubbed down starting on 200 grade sandpaper, then building up in 200 grade stages until you get to about 2000 grade, filled then built back up again really well, and laquered, or alternatively send them to be refurbed, about £40 per wheel at a estimation.

they will do what ever you want! if i was you i'd get the lip cut so it looks all shiney and will take out the curbing as long as its not too deep. all they do is stick it on a lathe and turn down the edge.
