www.wheelcollision.com is one of the better known "quality" places.
www.fixrim.com is another one that has a good rep, and several locations.

+1 on www.fixrim.com - I used them to fix a bent 1-piece forged BBS wheel, with good results.
Another option to consider would be contacting iforged, explaining the damage (emailing photos to them, most likely), and getting a quote from them to fix it. If the lip damage is severe enough, they may recommend replacing the lip, since it's a multi-piece wheel. Good luck... let us know how it goes!
