glenns is the shit, but something like that he may not be able to handle, he mostly fixes bent rims. you might try transwheel (on channelside) don`t know about the other place, but i may try them for a bent wheel i have.

I went to glenns wheel polishing to weld a small crack that was causing a slow air leak. Did pretty good work, the leak has stopped.
