Question Tourmaline alloy wheel repair

I'm wondering how to go about repairing my wheels. Like the title says, they're the tourmaline alloy wheels from the 2009 pebble beach edition and onwards. They all have scratches and curb rash from the previous owner, quite unsightly if you ask me.

Does anyone have a recommended repair shop that you would take these wheels to? Does the dealership offer wheel repair to this extent? I want them looking as close to factory as possible, and I don't want to use bondo and paint.

And yes, I am aware of the missing lug nuts/rocker panel. I just removed the previous owner's 5 sided wheel locks, tricky to get off.

The high end dealerships will have someone they work with. Often those folks will have a trailer in the parking lot of one of the near by dealerships. All the dealerships will use them to repair wheels. There is one here between the MB & BMW dealership but they work on all kinds of wheels. They are independent

There are some wheel repair shops around town. The one I went to is in Forney, called All Star Wheel Repair. Give them a call and ask if they do the type of repairs that you need. The repairs they did for me were not cosmetic but I believe that they do cosmetic repairs also. A co-worker had them do some work like that on his wheels. You drop the wheels off during the day and they'll be ready the next morning on most repairs.

Thanks Harold, I've reached out to a handful of shops already, no replies yet because it's Easter Sunday. I'll add all star to my list and likely give them a call in case the others can't help me.
