Default Rim Repair?

Does anyone know of a place that can fix rims? i had a little accedent in the rain and i hit a curb. One of my rims is bent and has a little material shaved off the lip. I dont have pictures of it, but its not that bad (in my eyes). I really want to save these rims because they are nice and are near impossible to buy now. Any help would be great.

Best place to start would probably be Google. Search on "aluminum wheel repair" or "alloy wheel repair".

You could try calling local used wheel shops / hubcap shops and see who they use.

You might want to give this place a call:

http://www.wheelcollision.com/wccinfo.html

I got a wheel fixed there once and it came out perfect. They also made custom hubcentric rings for some Volk wheels I used to have.
I realize they aren't close to you,but they ship and both times I used their services they were finished in about 2-3 days.
