Default Wheels Rebuild - split rims

I have some alloys; three part split rims that need repair and refurbishing. They are going to need major work done on them as the most of the rims have been bent. I expect repairs to be expensive and possibly some of the rims needing replacement. Are there any companies out there who are capable of doing this kind of work? Most companies I have been pointed towards can only skim them and cant work with split rims.

If I was to buy these new I would expect to pay over
