Default Rim repair!

Hey all,

I'm almost 100% sure I saw a thread on PWRX somewhere regarding rim rash repairs, but for the life of me I can't find it.
I recently bought a set of TE37SLs, they'd been on for one day.... and ... well let's just say I had some bad luck and leave it at that. There's a bit of rash about 6" long around the outer part of my rear wheel, and wondering if anybody has recommendations of where to get this fixed? Somebody who will do a quality job, I've never so much as scratched a wheel on any car before in my life, so I have no clue where to start, what costs will be involved and how good it'll come up.
ANY help appreciated!!

(My sincerest apologies if this is not the right section, posted here purely to get the fastest and most accurate replies)

Cheers,
Chris.

Alliance Rim Repairs in Malaga.

Their last effort for me was very average though.
