those look like they need to be refinished... not much can be done to get those scratches out

A quick solution might be to plastidip it, along with the rest of your rims?

I called few places around and its around 100$

What's $100? Because for plastic dip all u need is some note cards to put between the rim n tire so u don't have to clean up over spray and then 4 cans of plastic dip.. $20

I rather have it paint to match the factory color and its durable and permanent
I want the gloss finish

Honestly, a $100 bill would be a bargain for one wheel. If someone is offering to do four for that, run away!
Proper OEM quality refinish using epoxy primer, basecoat color and acrylic urethane clear would total about $180 alone, plus any primer surfacer or filler required on the deeper scratches. Add labor for sanding and spraying and at my shop $500 would be a deal.
Plus, to do a really good job, the tires should be removed, so add $100 for mounting and balancing.

$ 100$ is for 1 wheel sandblast and powder coating. I might have to pay extra for high temperatures resistant filler
I am replacing the tires anyway and i have a guy that can remove them for $5/tire
Is that a good deal or its to good to be true
