i took mine to the shop just last week. cost me 65 bucks. i should be picking them up tomorrow. and mine was worse, so if you can find a shop around there, it shouldn't cost too much.

i wouldn't reccomend you driving with that lip. i drove with it just like how yours was and the tire came off (kinda) and hit the center divider.

i'm pretty sure the only knockoffs like these were the rota MSR, which only came out in the one piece. but, i could be wrong.

did they take the rim apart to do it? i want to powder coat the inside bronze so i have to take them part anyways.. that would make it managable to send the lips by them self out somewhere to get done
