Either take them to an anodizing shop (Yellow Pages) and they will dip them in acid and re-anodize them. Or you could go get them powder coated as it is a harder finish than anodizing...

Powder coating is tough as fuck. They'll be able to dothat in about an hour or so, Anodisation is tough, but on something like wheels after a while it can get a bit tatty due to corosion from salt on the roads... Would take them about 30 mins to anodize the caps...
