I'm looking for a place too. I found one in PA, but that's a little far away. If you find a place, let me know man.

ive heard that the only way to fix the rims is to heat them up and bend them back to place, but the problem with that is that the rim looses tensil strength and can crack and break off on the part that was fixed. rims are made by compressing melted metal to like 1000's of psi or sumthin and letting them cool, so the only way to fix it the right way would be to find a place that has the mold and heat it up and recompress the rim
