Suggestion
They'll bead blast and even the scratches, then paint and clear coat, most of the time they'll check for bends but not always.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Does anyone know if a wheel like this could be refinished? If so, any idea on how much this should cost? New to the forum, recently bought a 996 '05 c4s cab! Thanks for the help
Serious question- can you use sandpaper and a spray paint can ? Get the tire/s removed and clean the wheels . Use sandpaper to remove and feather the scratches . Clean the wheels again . If all looks and feels good then hit them with spray paint of choice .
Different story if you want them powder coated or Cerakote . Those finishes are generally considered pro finishes . They will media blast and then coat . The plus is these finishes are very tough . Downside is they are not easily touched up like spray paint .
They'll bead blast and even the scratches, then paint and clear coat, most of the time they'll check for bends but not always. I personally wouldn't spray paint wheels especially on our cars that release so much brake dust.
Damn....I wish I had your guy up here in CT. I just paid $275 a wheel to have just the lips (wheel rim) refinished on 2 of my Sport Designs. They didn't even touch the wheel. And the flaws were very minor, but I'm a lunatic so I had to have it taken care of.
Oh man yeah multi-piece work is just as expensive, luckily the OP has regular wheels so that job is so much easier. I curbed a set of flow formed Vorsteiners on my VW and luckily there was no barrel damage, they'll true wheels as well and that gets a little pricey for a set of 4.
Easy, no more than $100-$200 bucks. Dealers usually have someone that does it or a powder coater would be a good bet. I think my wheels were around $175ish to coat and the included new tire mounting and center caps.
