Rim repair shop in Northen NJ oy NYC?

I have a set of the now discontinued 17" Konig Tantrums on my '05 Civic. The rear driver side tire kept on losing air and when I took it to Autozone they told me that the rim has a small crack on the wall and it's leaking... I have looked everywhere for a replacement rim, but since they don't make them anymore it's close to impossible. I found a set of used ones on e-bay, but I didn't make the reserve price.

Do any of you know of any repair shops around the tri-state area? I heard of one in Elizabeth, NJ and I contacted one in Farmingdale, NY. Any others? Any input? Any ****ing thing?

Gracias.

Don't even try to weld an aluminum rim. It weakens it and it'll just break again, but with more catastrophic results.
Either find a used set, or buy new ones.
Its really the only smart way to go.

If its just for daily driving and not raceing, try to find someone with experience in the new epoxies. I have used a few that are incredible for aluminium!
You really will need an expert to find the correct one!
