Default Repaired/Polished Type S Wheels

I recently purchased a 03 TL Type S with 15k miles. The only car's flaw were the two passenger side wheels which had some serious curb rash on both the lip and on the spoke.

I checked with Jose Cruz at Rite Way Wheel in Walnut Creek, CA (925-933-4046) on what could be done to correct this wheel rash. He gave me two ways to go. The first was to get the two wheels repaired and refinished to the original, factory finish. His second suggestion was to polish the lips and spokes of all four wheels. I went with the polished look.

Here are before and after pictures. I highly recomment Rite Way Wheels as a resource to repairing/polishing your wheels. Your thoughts?

It ran around $300 including chrome valve stems and caps.
