Rim Toruble, Advice Needed
So I purchased a new vehicle recently and had one of the tires replaced because it went flat for no reason. I asked the guy at the tire shop what the problem was and he told me that the tire had fix a flat. Well, I had the tire replace and about a week later the same tire was flat. I took it back to the place and they showed me where the rim had been welded and how it was leaking. The guy told me that I need a new rim. I was wondering would it still be possible to fix the rim with out compromising the integrity of the rim and what should I be looking to spend to fix the rim? I reall appreciate any input.

What kind of rim do you have? Is it a 3pc rim? If so I may be able to replace one of the 3 rim components. Send me a picture of the wheel and where the weld is on the rim.
