Replacement lip for a 3 piece wheel?

I've tried searching on this, and have come to a dead end.

I rashed one of my wheels pretty bad, and believe the lip is beyond repair. Where could I (if at all) purchase just a new lip for the wheel. It's a 19x9.5" Work wheel.

Thanks in advance to anyone with insight.

Get your wheel looked at anyways... I curbed one of my work wheels, and I thought it couldn't be repaired either... Went to a local wheel shop that was recommended by lots of people, and now I can't even tell that I curbed the lips on my work wheels.

Sounds good. I just contacted Work and the lip is $350, which isn't terrible. I'm gonna get a quote on the repair then compare the costs.

Thanks for the info.

Should b anywhere from $90-$150 to fix a curb. U'd b surprised at what they can fix. There is a 95% chance without even seeing ur wheel that theyll b able to fix it, since they can literally add pieces on the lip. Especially if they are aluminum.

Yea, that's what I read. Apparently you can do it, and only notice up close. I'm not sure, and if I order a new lip directly from Work I'm sure shipping will suck.

I was worried about that too. They said after the repair they just polished a couple centimeters out to blend it... They said unless you know it was repaired you won't notice it....

I was impressed. I know it was repaired, even tried looking for it... I still can't tell...

I just make sure to always have a good coat of wax on it, even tho the owner of the shop said I shouldn't have anything to worry about.

That's awesome. Where do you live/where did you take it to get repaired? There's nowhere local to me that I know of with a decent reputation.
