it's not as often done mainly because it doesn't really give a 'nice' finish. It removed tons of pitting and stuff like that but it pretty much ends up as raw aluminum in the end. It's offered at most locations though - here's one in ohio
Automated Wheel - Aluminum wheel finishes. Machining, Polish, Buff, Clear and Powder Coat, Painting in Cleveland, Ohio.

You may want to consider doing it your self if you want to polish...its time conssuming but its such a high grit process, that it ends up that's all it is...time, and that's what you are paying for

He doesn't want powder coating but I agree on doing it yourself. I did my eurolines by hand and sent them off to be buffed since i didn't have/want that equipment. I finished it with a lot of hand polishing, it's pretty fucking nice for the shit work i put. I can pm you some pics if you want - it took about 5 hours per wheel but cost 150$ in the end. Way less than having a shop do it.

Where can i tap a water temperature gauge into a KA? The titek adapter that WakeBHR showed me won't fit my probe thread pitch (assuming its the same as the greddy one)
