Default Who can polish aluminum lips of wheels in DFW?

I just purchased some wheels and they have aluminum lips...
I was wondering...
Who could I take these wheels to locally that can polish the lips for me?
I am located in DFW.

I was told ....no clear coat, but only problem is...
You can see the indentions/grooves cut into the metal, but it feels smooth to the touch.

So I am very unsure.
Pricing will vary, depending on the quality of the work and who is doing it.
If all else fails...I will just hit it with some neverdull and mother's.

So which wheels did you end up going with? The CCW's?
