google "wheels america". $130/rim. they will weld, fix, and resurface for flat rate, and I think they pick up and deliver if not mistaken. did three rims with them already. gl.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think VAC motorsports can do that. I've been doing quite a bit with them recently and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I wouldnt recommend Wheels America. From what i have heard from other wheel repair shops is that wheels america have a reputation to MESS up wheels. Itll come out looking nice to the customer but they skip steps and end up compromising the strength of the wheel. They are known for "cutting wheels". What that means is if you have a bend, theyll straighten it to a certain point but then instead of taking the extra 45 minutes to get it perfect, they will take a lathe and skim off metal so the rim will spin true on the balancer. What that ends up doing is making the wheel weaker at that spot. Later in if you hit a pothole or something the wrong way, that weak spot will crack or bend when it normally would not have. Wheel repair is something that is very scary to me. Ive had a lot of bad experiences and its hard to find someone to trust. I used to use Alloy Wheel repair but im just not sure if i trust them anymore. for a crack they should be able to fix it. Sorry for the rant
