Yeah it can be repaired. Some machine shops do it and some places just specialize in rims. Where in Jersey are you? I go this place in North Bergen called Baumann Brothers, They do good work.

I've had a few mags repaired in my time, and the shop I had do it charged $125 per wheel, which included stripping, truing, and re-powdercoating. It was expensive to do all 4, but when Mr. Tire scratched all my rims when levering new tires on, they wound up paying for all of them...

Yeah sorry, I called thier number and also passed by the shop and it seems to be shut down. You might as well go into any performance shop in the area and ask them where you can get it fixed. Thats how I first found Baumann, just asked my shop where they send people. And they used to charge $95 a rim.

wheels america does a pretty decent job. i had a friend go to them and i just dropped off my rims because of a crack. it's a bit of a trip from jersey however.

if u don't want to pay for a new one or go to the junk yard looking for old ones, this is a good option. $109 flat rate.

good luck
