Default Is there any feasible way to repair curbed rims?

I'm a nooB with a nooB question... I have some curbage on my rims and I was wondering if there's any way to repair this. (searched with no luck)

Its nothing TOO major, just your normal curbage after years and years of use. I dont have pics, but you can pretty much guess what they look like.

Thanks.

Yes, take it to a repair shop and have a professional do it. It's about the only way really.

Any BALLPARK idea how much a shop would charge to repair rims? I know you havent seen my rims, but maybe a range for your typical curbage?

Professional wheel repair places in the Chicago area include:

Wheels America
Transwheel
Keystone

Expect to pay $100-200 per wheel for complete repair/refinishing.

jack the front of your car up and place it on jack stands.

put the tireless wheel onto your hub and tighten the lugs.

start engine, place car in first gear and allow to idle. (front wheel will spin)

take a disc sander to the curb marks
