Default Wheel repair/widening for three piece wheels

I bent an inner lip on my on one of my wheels which are three piece Fikse wheels. I don't really want to ship my wheel to Canada where Fikse is located with it's new company. I might widen the two front wheels also. Any suggestions for a local source in Southern California or somewhere in the states?

You could also contact PHD Manufacturing in Oceanside. They cut wheels for a bunch of companies and I had them dissassemble and reassemble a set of Forgelines for BOS. If you wanted to re hoop or widen your wheels they could probably help you out. I've worked with James over there a couple of times and have always had good results.

Are these Fikse's multi piece wheels? they could probably sell you just a new barrel and you could put the wheel together your self.

Its an option and a bunch of people do it.
