well....
I got a quote from a local brass polishing place a couple fo weeks ago. He said that he would need about 3 wekks and about $350 to get it done. He also said that it would take all of the clear coat AND paint off of the rim so all you would have left is the aluminum. Supposed to look really nice although I hear that it is hard to keep them shiny/chome loooking so a chroe dip might be a better idea!
