Rims can be fixed. But if I'm not mistaken, those rims are only about $100 to $150 a pop. Fixing it will run you about $50 to $75, and it will never look like new.
You could just "ghetto" paint them yourself with white enamel, but it will never look as good as powercoating. Professional powder coating is between $25 and $50 a wheel, depending on where you go.
Add shipping costs to all of the above, unless you can find a local place to do it.
Also, the tires will have to be removed off the wheels for it to be done, so you will be "shoeless" for ahwile unless you kept your original set.
