Save money by finding a local person, if you have to ship the rims it will add to the cost.
I would shy away from Plastic Dip, though it is an idea. I just have not heard too much about it, or how durable it really is.
Stay way from just spraying them with spray paint too like from Dupli-Color. Wont last long.
If you like the rims, just pay to get them re done right.

But you have to REALLY like the wheels, or if they are VERY rare/hard to find, as many new, decent wheels could be had for the cost of a GOOD clean-up/powdercoating.
I did this for my 16x8 ZR1 style SS wheels, since they are IMPOSSIBLE to find anymore, and i wanted them in a gunmetal/graphite color.
