Default AME Shallen lip replacement?

So, I have a set of AME Shallen. I think they are AX. I recently had a nasty blowout and was wondering if anybody ever had the lips replace.

I say replace because it looks like there is a cover on the lips themselves.

Does anyone know where I can get this repaired at?

Default Check with these guys...

www.atlaschrome.com ask for Majid or Alex, tell them that Thomas with the black LS430 sent you. They repaired the curb rash, dents, and bends in my LSportlines about a year ago. I'm not sure of the number but its online. Good luck, they should be able to help you depending on how bad it is.

Due to liability issues, most companies will not un-weld a 2 piece welded wheel. I know there is one company in Cali that said they could do it, but I wouldn't chance it.
