Default Chicago-land Rim Refinishing?

Does anyone know of good place to get rims refinished around chicago or the northwest suburbs? I have a set of 17" Machined C6 Motorsports on my TA and the chrome is just... destroyed, especially on the front rims (but all 4 are in need of it). I was thinking of getting them all remachined this winter, just need a place that can do so and hopefully for a decent price.

my brother in law used a " mobile guy " out here in Elgin.

apparently he goes around to dealers. my brother in law is usually pretty **** and he was please with the job he did.

he bent an aftermarket rim on his gti ( when he had the gti ) scratched it up too.
so, i will try and get the info off of the business card.....
...at work now, so give me some time.

If the rim is physicall fine, and you'd like the chrome blasted off and the wheels powder coated, I can do that.

Yep, they do great work. They usually have 24 hour turn around time as well.

The rims are 100% fine as far as working condition goes. Its just how they look thats killing me lol. If you can powercoat them with chrome to look how they looked when I bought them, Id love that.

Ive seen your work on my buddy Phils intake manifold on his NBM Formula and both me and my gf Amy have talked to you about powdercoating ideas for each of our TAs at the Miejer Show last year, so I am VERY comfortable with you doing this if its possible.

This wouldnt be till winter time, but how much would it cost to do all 4 rims in chrome? Or even just two of them?
