Default Good wheel shop to fix curb rash in S.E. Pa?

Anyone recomend a shop in the Reading Pa area to repair minor curb rash on wheels? My 03 I just got has some rash on both front wheels that I'd like to have fixed if I can. Anyone had this done before and is it worth it? Looked for another set but most I see either have similar rash or are not original wheels.

Its not really close to you but I took a 5th gen camaro rim to Frankel Acura
on York Rd in Cockeysville MD to get some rash fixed.

They did a hellava job. The rim looked better then new. I believe they
charge $100-150 a wheel. The job took about 90 min so you could wait
for them.

That seems to be the going rate from what I've found. Hate to spend that much when I can probably get another set for the same amount. The rash is just on the outer lip, I've read about people cleaning them up themselves and just repainting that portion. I'll give that a try first.

I just picked up another clean pair of wheels instead. I needed a pair for a set of DR's anyway, my curbed up wheels will just be for the track. Thanks for the tips all.
