I know a place where they charge about 150 notes and they will shot blast them repair them and respray they to new condition. I use them for the wheels on my race car, they are great.

I'd avoid anything too dark, as you have a black car. I had some alloys refurbed in a darkish anthracite on my old 306 GTi-6 which was black, & it just didn't look right.

A dark silver or gunmetal would look best, IMO.
