I don't think tire shops refinish wheels. you need to look for a place that refinishes wheels. Most of the time, you give them yours and they'll have another set ready to give you unless they are a smaller busniess. I would guess it would cost anywhere between $60-$100 per rim depending on how bad they are or bent or curbed ect.
Search around on honda-tech. I know I've seen a few threads on wheel refinishing. Most involve 2000 grit wet sand paper, time, and a lot of rubbing. Good luck

For the price and condition, looks like you got yourself a nice inexpensive project.
Take the time to sand them down and polish them yourself.

LOL, true. Always good if you want to remove aircraft.
*edit*
I guess I could be helpful. Search "how to polish" and find the lengthy thread about polishing wheels. Those could likely be fixed up real purty. I'm polishing some Si wheels right now.
