Canada Need rim repair in GTA area

One of my rims has a small crack I need to get fixed. Anyone know of anything in the GTA area that does good work at reasonable prices?

TIA

I wouldn't advise to fix a cracked wheel. I got a wheel (same style as yours) for about $80 at a junkyard.

^ I actually have to disagree with what karam said....if done properly at a proper shop, fixing a cracked rim is not a concern....

But by the same token, if you can get a new/used rim for 80bucks, then it's not worth fixing, since fixing rims cost at least 100 a piece

and check out rim-repair.com (Precision Rim Repair). I had two rims fixed there, and they did a great job! They can also get good prices on tires as well...

Thanks for the responses.
To find my exact rim in the right colour I don't know how hard it would be, as it's an aftermarket rim, although would be great having a 5th to be honest. [these rims are now discontinued].
Anyways, Seems my tire place also has next door where they do rim repairs for a reasonable price. [Stopped by there this morning] so should be ready for me to pick up tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. they've always had great prices and never steered me wrong yet in the few years I've been dealing with them. Will let you know how it goes.
[The crack itself is mostly a hairline one, except at the very edge of the rim where it's a wee bit wider, so if it hits just right, the tire looses all air from it, so it's nothing huge or a major repair of the rim like some are.]
