Turbax did a wheel for me once and I was not happy. They re-sprayed it and I still was not happy. The finish was orange peeled and had many specks of dust under the paint.

The other problem is that the wheels are factory painted with powder and I've yet to find a wheel repair place that uses powder. The re-spray will never have the durability of new until someone starts using powder or ESP.

BTW, I finally had my wheel repainted at Stuttgart Body Shop in Fort Lauderdale and it came out way better than the Turbax repair. Still not powder but the finish was excellent. I've heard that Stuttgart will no longer repaint wheels. You may want to call them and inquire.
