For those looking for an alternative for rim repair, I used the following shop:
Alloy wheel Repair Specialists of Hawaii
94-1388 Moaniani St. #322
Waipahu, HI 96797
Tel: 808-391-8633

They charged me $160 for one rim and gave me a break for paying cash.
Everything was great except ONE pretty big thing, so buyer beware. I took pictures of the repair, and noticed that there was a gash in the tire. The technician said his machine presses against the tire to give room for him to work on the damaged rim, and it caused this gash. They didn't disclose it to me, and then brushed it off like it's not a big deal when I brought it up to them, so that was a big minus in the overall experience. If this damage would occur everytime he tries to repair our 21" wheels, of course it would not be recommended, but if it was just a one time mistake then the job on the rim itself is flawless. I can't even tell where the damage was.
