Help: where to repair rims?

Hi,
I'm looking for some referrals to find a good place that repairs rims.
One of my BBS CH rims has a hairline crack on the inner lip from a pothole. it leaks air slowly and i need to fix it. a place in or around Brampton Ontario would be great.
Any good experiences/recommendations out there?
pls post here or email me at poochieone@hotmail.com
thanks,
Marco

I always thought it was pretty tough to actually repair a damaged wheel. I always heard you were better off buying a new one. Not saying a repair wouldn't be cheaper, but once a wheel is bent or cracked I thought you were usually screwed?

the Rim Doctor here in Kitchener does work for our shop, they do really good work but aren't cheap by any stretch.

At my work we have sent a lot of rims to greens in vacouver that where real bad and they fixed them one had a 2 inch peace missing off the bead area and they welded and macheened it off looked like new when we got it back re painted and all. all depends on huw much the rim will cost or how rare it is
