Smashed my Rim on a Divider, Where Can I get it Fixed?

Well, to make a long story short, a rice-boy cut me off and I crashed into the divider going about 15mph. My front DS tire got shaved but still held air and my beatiful (out of production ) billet Boyd rim got scratched up. The rim lip got sanded off with the tire (not much about 4 inches of the circumference).

Now normally I would bite the bullet and pay the cash for the new rim but I can't find these ANYWHERE. They have been out of production for something like 8 years.

Now my question is there anywhere that I can get this rim repaired to look nice. At least all the damage smoothed out and the rim polished?

Thnkas for the help,
-Max

Look online is the best bet. Call around. Your talking about welding aluminum and it will not be cheap.

Here's a place that should be able to help you. They have a couple of different locations and if Chicago(Arlington Heights) isn't too far from you then you won't even have to ship it.
