Can my rare cracked rim be fixed ?!?

Hey guys so I got a set of Kei Office Modia's 17x8 +20 offset all around. Thing is one of the wheels was bent and cracked. During the time when i was having them straightened out by a wheel specialist, he noticed the hairline crack running through the hub portion. He had told me he did not have the correct tools to fix it. My question is.. Is there anyone out there that knows of (1) where I can get this fixed if its possible or (2) locate another one.

Here's some pictures of the crack....

i see no reason it cant be fixed. at the end of the day its all metal, just depends on how much you want to spend. as far as a "where" i have no idea, but your wheel repair guy might know of someone who does have the tools necessary

The only problem I've run into with wheel repair was the insane cost to fix a magnesium wheel. Yours should be reasonable. I'm sure there are mom & pop wheel repair shops in the tri state area, just google it. Wheels America is a popular franchise and theres one in Philly if you want to make the three hour roadtrip.
