Wheel Repair in SJ?

Just drove home from work and coming back on 676 just after the BFB this pothole came out of nowhere. The driver side rear rim now has a slightly bent lip. Ill get a pic later. Is it repairable? and if so does anyone know of a place in south jersey that might be able to help me

I think there is a wheel place on RT. 130 up in the FLorence area somewhere. Not sure what they do, just remember passing it.

I'm sure there is somewhere closer to you.

I've taken a few wheels to Wheel Works in Burlington. I think it's the same place deadtrend mentioned. I don't remember who it was, but someone on here also took there wheels over there to get them widened.

yea i thought about it but figured it wouldn't look completely right and could probably easily tell when its spinning that it wasn't true.
