Just look for a larger shop with good equipment. You might do some internet research on the shops in your area.

Tire balance was $10 per tire. Since they had to remove all the tires they rotated them for free.

The car in question is my wife's Pontiac G8. Very low production numbers with factory top of the line alloys means there are not many of them in the wrecking yards. I did find a place about 400 miles from me that can restore the wheel, and since it is an area I visit now and then I am going to drop it off for repair soon. They say they can do anything for around $200 or so, and they have seen some G8 wheels in the past.

My wife was constantly tearing up her cars by lead-footing them, so I got her one that can take it. Her best 0-60 is right at 4.5 seconds.
