Anyone have any idea other than go buy a new rim.

thanks

I had the same problem and did fix it , but I work on a machine shop , we repair aircraft bearing hub buy machining them little bit oversize than we spray them with special plasma then remachine to size , for me it was free so wasnt bad , but to have someone do it just wouldn't be worth it . unless you know someone in that field , mite even have someone machine it little bit over than try to order a bearing to fit the new size that's the cheapist but still need someone to machine it .
