Default 3-piece wheel repair (iForged)

Looking for suggestions on how / where to get a 3 piece forged wheel repaired. Wheels have been great for many years but managed to hit a big pot hole in Chicago last year. One of the wheels has a bent lip on the outside. The barrel looks fine. I need tires for the entire set so I will need to dismount them anyway. Any suggestions on where to bring them or what the repair process is like? Not sure if the outside lip needs to be replaced or if can be straightened?

thanks!

Anybody think they would lift the front end of a car high enough that you could get a jack under it if the car was lowered? That might be an easier way to lift up the front of the car a couple inches for some clearance for a jack versus driving onto ramps or the like

I know that they're not local to you, but if you don't mind shipping your wheel, you could try a business called 'Proformance Industries'. They're located in New Rochelle, NY. They refinished a pair of BBS wheels for me, earlier this year, and they did a really nice job, at a reasonable price, and prompt turn around.

They also have a website you can check out.


EDIT....I failed to look at the date of the first post, and didn't realize it's 3 years old. Hope the OP has resolved this, by now.
