I hope the damaged wheel turns out fine (I know it wont be like new) but the majority of the scrapes, dings and bends are on the very edge/lip of the wheels....
sorry about the crowbar I did not know the name for the bar they use to handle the wheels.

Sticky situation for you, I understand better now. Best of luck with the hand finishing. Metal finishing is a black art sometimes. I have many years experience on stainless wine vats and such. Dialing in the brushed finish grain just right is like surgery. Aluminum is just softer, so it can be worked easier.
