You can go to AMF for the final step. Jason can clear powdercoat them. ---

There is a place on Rodi Road in Penn Hills that offers wheel repair. Then have them stripped and polished then clear coated. I could help with the last three steps. I noticed you are in Hampton, PM me and I will take a look at them, the curb rash I might be able to clean up. The bend will need to be fixed by someone who can true the rim after straightening. ---
