You'll probably pay quite a bit for a new wheel which is as light.
You may be able to find someone to sandblast them for quite a bit
less. I did mine myself and repainted them a few years ago and they
look great.
Unless you know they're bent, why pay more?

Wheels: Restore or Replace?
My 1991 Miata has the Mazda Aluminum Alloy wheels in 14" size. I am thinking
about refinishing them for around $150 a wheel at a specialty shop that will
also straighten them if needed. I don't know what these wheels originally
cost because I got them as a package deal.
Alternatively, I can buy new wheels, which opens up the possibility of wider
tires than the 185/60-14 which I currently use.
Any thoughts?

Re: Wheels: Restore or Replace?
That sounds like a ridiculous amount to pay. A friend of mine smashed his
Vette polished mag into a curb (accident avoidance manuever) and got it
fixed (like new) for like $108. I was shocked but this included them adding
magnesium, machining it and even re-powdercoating it!.
You can buy a nice set used on miata.net for probably between $150 and $250.
