There are plenty of places that will refurbish wheels to better than
new, but it is not cheap and takes a few days or so.* One of my
customers had his Lexus wheels refurbed because they leaked extensively
and they were fine afterwards, iirc it was about 200 for all five.


Mine were done by Toyota on a recall when the car was a year or so old.
They lasted over 10 years, and then started to leak on the rims. I had
them redone, and they are bubbling in places only 4 years later.
