Default Recomendation for diamond cut wheel restoration in Chicago?



Just got a set of these for 560$ and i would like to make them look like new.
As i realized i need a cnc lathe machine to cut these wheels.
Anyone knows a place in Chicagoland that does this for reasonable price?

I called Wheel Tech in Highland park and Wheels America in Elk Grove village.
1st one is asking 195$ per wheel and second 170$ (mounting and balacing is additional).
I think they need to cut 0.5mm from the surface of machined finish then paint the gunmetal grey inside the spokes and clear coat the whole wheel.
These wheels are 650$ a piece at the dealer.

Cost me 150$ at crown customs but the wheel came out more shiny than stock.
Stock diamond cut finish looks like machine cut and then polished which they said they cant replicate.
