Got some curbed outer lip SSR SP1s. Any suggestions on shops or how to fix? So far I've been told that I would have to get them weld filled and slightly reshaped. Its really only the outer lip thats been curbed

I also been quoted all over the place for fixing 2 wheels from:
3piece.us - $1200
Southern California Wheel Repair - $180

3pc.us is quoting for complete replacement barrels.

A wheel shop will repair the existing barrels by sanding/smoothing/welding new material

Ah ok I see, this would fall in line more with just repair right? or do you have a suggestion to do one or the other?

Depends on your budget and the level of damage to the wheels.

If the damage is cosmetic only, a good wheel shop can fix it up without needing to worry about impact to wheel strength

If the wheels are damaged badly (bent or cracked) or needs welding, it depends on your risk tolerance and trust of wheel shop to make the repair. Even after repair, you should always regularly check the wheel to see if cracks form. If you don't trust the repair, replace the barrel

For the damage on the wheel you showed, it seems cosmetic only
