Yes - they can. There are several ways. For a ruff cost estimate, maybe $50-$100 per wheel based on option. I do powder coating and can tell you most of the labor is in sand blasting. it takes me a couple hours per wheel.
Options:
1. Sand off the old coating. Then either have them re-clear coated or polished.
2. Have them sand blasted and clear coated.
3. Have them sand blasted then powder coated clear or in any color.
5. Sure there are more.

there is a place called wheels america, and for $125 per wheel they give you back something that looks new.

I have heard of that company. A wheel shop is usually the best place to take wheels as they ensure the wheels are straight before any recondition is performed. I have a set of 83 LE wheels that I need to have restored. Gonna cost me quite a bit but the finished product will be worth the cost I feel.

If you have your wheels refinished do yourself a favor and have the wheels balanced with "tape-on" weights on the inside of the rim. I have never understood the concept of clipping a lead weight on the lip of an aluminum wheel that has a protective clear coat finish on it. In my humble opinion it looks tacky and leads to surface corrosion down the road.
