Exclamation aftermarket wheel repair????

Ok so a few days ago my car had a minor bump at work and my rim was damaged.

Wheels are 19 inch staggered Ro_ja r2-7's

The damage is only on the lip, not on spokes or anything, there is no cracks, it's mainly just curbage with some rash and some bits of metal missing along a part of the rim but it's nothing too drastic in my opinion.

As if it wasn't already bad enough that my wheel is damaged, a few places here said over the phone they could fix it, turned out in person that they couldn't.

Main reasons were that it was either or both
1) 2 piece (outer lip is aluminum inner is stainless)
and
2) forged and are aftermarket - machine would screw up the wheels.


I'm in complete disarray and I just want your guys' feedback on what to do.
These wheels are discontinued and I'd love to get some info if you know what I can do or can refer me to anyone.

The places I have went to that turned me down was WheelsAmerica and TransWheels.

I'm located in the Chicago suburbs.

Thank you.


PS: pic of my rims (before accident)


I'll try and get pics of the damage later today
