Default BBS 3 piece fix in Chicago

Picked up a slight bend in the outer lip of my FL E88 after hitting an outside curb last week at the track. Car still drivable. Need it repaired before next week's track day. No time for R&R new lip.

Any reco for wheel repair IN Chicago (don't have time for 2hr r/t trip to burbland/narnia)?

TIA

The outers are fairly cheap. I would just replace. Bob Woodman sells some used as well for even cheaper. Not sure I would trust a straightened out lip just my .02
