I had a wheel repaired once on my Audi. I don't remember where the place was. I had to ship it there. I think I found them in an ad in the back of Car & Driver magazine.

I also recently saw a news report about the danger of repaired wheels. Apparently, some wheels are not repaired correctly (or are repaired when they are really too far gone to repair) and it causes a safety issue.

They can repair OEM wheels, but probably not those with a polished lip.
