In fact YES!!! I got it fixed! After months of searching for someone who could provide me a barrel or make me a new barrel, I wound up just getting it fixed. Thank you for all of your suggestions and help! See post #21 on the second page of this thread for the before picture. Here is the after:

Just want to provide some information which is a bit contradict to what someone mentioned above.
Based on my prior experience, NOT all the Japanese wheels manufacturer won't support lip replacement. A few years back when I curb my Work VsMx wheels, I contacted Work Japan directly and they are fine of sending a brand new out lip to U.S. The only problem is that, they will ship it to the Sole Distributor in San Francisco and I will need to send my damaged wheel there for them to disassemble/assemble. They insist this citing the quality control and I have called their Distributor in SF to confirm this. I am not sure if any other big manufacturer will supply outer or inner lip, but when the time comes, I will find out more. Hope this helps.

You said you need yours refinished... are you in NY? If so, I can recommend someone. He's pretty good I hear. I am going to need all 4 of mine refinished, so maybe we can go together and get a cut in price. Lemme know.

I know I am late....so glad it was "fixable". I have a rim repair shop 30 minutes from me in Maryland and they could have fixed it too. I have seen rims mangled in their shop, only to be fixed days later. Amazing what they can do...
But really, I'm just chiming into this thread at this late date, since your rim is already fixed, to say that I really like your sig.

If anyone else here can chime in with knowledge on that, it would be much appreciated.
As far as my sig is concerned, thanx!
