    You might try:
    MagMasters 1419 East Edinger Santa Ana, CA 92705 They will polish the wheels with the tires mounted. I dropped mine off in the morning and picked them up in the afternoon. Or Wheels America 13139 ROSECRANS AVE., SANTA FE SPRINGS, CA 90670 562-229-1918 Hope this helps.

    I've known Al for 20 years, and Mag masters does my magnesium Halibrands. If you're not in a hurry and they're really just a cleanup polish, go to Al. For heavy oxidation go to Mag Masters

    Here's an update to the above recommendations. I was looking for someone to polish the rims (only) and powder coat the centers of OEM alloy wheels, and got these quotes:

    Wheels America: Flat rate of $150/wheel for any combination of polishing and powder coating. Includes clear.

    Al Reed: $65/wheel.

    Mag Masters: only $35/wheel for polishing, but $85 EACH for powder coat and clear.

    Joe Stubblefield: he's moved, and is now in Santa Fe Springs (same phone). He has sold his wheel polishing machine but is still willing to do them by hand.

    I'm gonna try Al Reed on a test wheel, because of the obvious price advantage. Will report back.

    I used to use Al "Bo" Greis, but he's been hard to find lately.

    Guess I have to say, don't choose Al Reed if you're in a hurry. I'm still waiting for the ONE wheel that I took him in August.

    Try Valco's "Lazy man's polish". They also have a pre cleaner. You can find them at any truck stop. Use the pre cleaner first then follow up with the polish, using a Mothers powerball. Works great and is a whole lot cheaper! Trucker's swear by this stuff.
