950 for a couple of wheels is steep, I say its time to buy a new set

As for the question you asked I'm not sure of any place that fixes rims due to the liability of it

you could easily buy a brand new set of 4 nice rims with great tires for under $900

If rims are cracked, they're done. No fixing them. If they're bent... it's pretty much the same unless it's just the lip. That might be repairable.

MUCH cheaper to just grab a new set, or a used set off Craigslist.

probably get a new set. $900 is too much
