Default powder coating + wheel repair shop

I got my hands on a set of Work VS-XX's but they're not in the best condition. The chrome lip has some rash and the face of the wheels (bits on all 4 of them) have scratches and scuffs and the finish is even coming off on some. Does anyone know of a good wheel repair shop in southern california that can:

1. sandblast + powder coat for a decent price
2. fix the rash on the lip
3. *optional* take off and mount the tires

my budget is around 300-400 dollars for the entire job

basically I'm looking for an all-in-one store that can get my otherwise beautiful wheels back into top shape.

I'm located in Riverside but go to college in San Diego. A shop in either place will be well appreiciated

thank you!

I took my rims to Mag Masters in Santa Ana. They dis-assembled rims, polished outer and inner rims, and re-assembled. I took the centers to Specialized Coating in Huntington Beach for Powder coating. Mag Masters also powder coat but they have a longer waiting time for powder coating. Specialized Coating has a wider selection of colors to choose from. Call them for quotes I forgot what I paid soo long ago.

thanks everyone

does anyone know a place a little bit closer?

and is taking apart the VS-XX not a hard process? I'm kind of paranoid something bad is going to happen if I let someone take apart my wheel.

Al Reed, I think he's in the Fullerton area, where the 55 meets the 91. He should be in the yellow pages and og Porsche guys use him. He's done 2 sets for me but never had him pc but I think he does.

was mag masters expensive? I read somewhere that they charged 75 a wheel to take them apart. That on top of 75 a wheel to get them powdercoated will be a $600 wheel job!!! not to mention the cost of mounting the tires and polishing.....

Call them and ask, they'll tell you over the phone, but when I called them about my Volks I remember it being pretty pricey to disassemble/assemble.
