Default wheel repair

Can anyone direct me where I can get my lowenhart ldr repaired and rechromed due to a pot hole? Most places I have talked to can repair the wheel but have to resend it out for chromming.I would like to be able to do a one-stop shop if possible.It appears that the lip is egged and since its a 3 piece it can be chromed seperately?Thanks for help Tim.Here's a pic

Hey Adrian could you PM me with how much he charged you to clearcoat the lips. When I ordered my wheels I only wanted the centers clearcoated and should receive them soon and might want to clearcoat the lips before I install them.
