wheel repair ( shaving )

well its quite unfortunate but shortly after getting my new wheels last week i did some work with a friend helping me and he forgot to tighten lugs all the way so of course the inevitable happened ...

point is.
the back side of the wheel where it mounths got chewed up a bit and the holes for the lugs were bored a bit aswell so i cant find any place in san diego that can shave the back of the wheel to make it flat ... i would post pictures but i need to pick it up from a shop i dropped it off to that said they could do it but turned out they couldnt guarentee it 100% flat ...

so i need somewhere preferably in San Diego but will ship or drive the wheel elsewhere to get it properly filled and drilled aswell as shaved ... any advice is much appreciated ...

it may just probably be better for you to buy a new wheel? what kind of wheels are they?

edit:
