Default Wheel refinish... need recommendations.

I've got a set of GM corvette magnesium wheels that I want to have refinished back to original. There is no damage to the rims just paint chips to the finish. Do any of you, based on first hand knowledge, have a shop that you'd recommend. I'd prefer someone in the northeast so I don't have to ship across country. Thanks,
Mickey

Don't have any personal experience with them either, but I have seen them advertised in many major car magazines.
