Default Wheel Rebuilding

Greetings,

I'm trying to find a local shop that can relip my damaged wheel. I was quoted $325 by Alex over at wheelflip, but I'd rather do it locally if I can. Anyone know of a place that does this type of work well?

Thanks!

Called them after posting this thread, and they don't work on multipiece wheels. I've called around, and nobody wants to touch them (liability reasons I'm assuming). Looks like i'm going to have to ship them out.

I sent the wheel out to wheelflip since the type of work needed was rather tricky (needed to put it on a lathe to split the weld). it's only one wheel i'm rebuilding since the other 3 are near mint. i'll post some pics of it when I get it back from them.
