Default rims repair

Im about to get some really nice rims for a really good price. There are 3 pieces rims. The bad about this rims is that there alot of curb damage on the lip. People told me that curb damage can be repair. Im asking if there is there any shops in NOVA that could does rim repairs? And how much I'm looking at for the repairs? i never done a rim repair or have any knowledge of it.

If it is a 3pc wheel, you should be able to buy new lips/rings from the manufacturer.

whats the lip finish? polished aluminum? if so, those are even easy to repair yourself since you dont need to repaint the finish or something

the rim curb rash isn't major, it just a minor curb rash. Is there a way you could give me a price range? so i can expect what im really paying for , and see if it is worth the investment.
