Wheel repair

I have a set of 15\" wheels and tyres I had intended to use for track days, but when moving the wheels around today I noticed the rear lip on one isn't completely round:

Just wanted to know experiences with getting wheels repaired. Do repairs make them significantly weaker? Who would you recommend around the Brisbane area?

I have had a look around to see if I could just purchase one of the same rims but haven't had any luck.

Cheers

Hi Tim

I had a wheel repaired at Race Engineering at Sumner Park

No complaints, cost $200.00 though

Depulu Wheels quoted me $89 to repair a rim with a flat spot.
Haven't got around to getting it done yet.
