Wheel refinishing recommendations needed

I've had my 2005 M3 about a year. Yesterday I used a little too much
right foot and too little restraint (of course the traction control
was off) and the next thing I knew I was sideways at 60 mph with the
rear wheels on a gravel shoulder.

The wheels are BBS RGR bright silver painted finish. It's surprising
how many little chips you can get in such a short time. I wish I
would have had the stock wheels on at the time because I like the
RGR's better.

Does anyone know of a good place to get wheels refinished?

Thanks,
R.C.

Wiht a last name of Cranium it would seem you might have the sense to
tell people WHERE YOU ARE when asking where to get wheels refinished.

<sarcasm/on>

But - hey - there's this little place near me that does really good
work. Why not go there?

<sarcasm/off>

Well, since you asked, I'm at home.

When I asked if anyone knew of a good place to get wheels refinished I
expected they would share it with the group. Location is not
important there are businesses like UPS that ship anywhere.

I have no experience, but I don't know why any local, dependable body shop
couldn't do it.

Googling "refinish wheels" brings up about a gazillion places that claim to
be the best.

Richard Cranium, no offense to you, but this is how we normally refer
to someone in a mixed environment when we want to call them Dick Head.
Since this could possibly be a serious question, your location is
relavent as I doubt you want to ship the wheels to Germany if you're
in South Dakota...

Well, in that case, I know of a great place in Nan King China. Do you
want to ship your (heavy) wheels back and forth to that shop?

You need to at least say what continent you are on... ;-)

Now, to answer your question, since you are obviously on the North
American continent:

Chris - he wouldn't know a clue if it fell on his head :-),

Psycho,

No offense taken. I would hope that you didn't think that was my real
name. I don't believe Psycho is yours, but you never know.

Yes this is a serious question. I live in Illinois. I doubt there
would be an excellent shop right in my back yard but you never know.
