Depend on how big the chunk is and the quality of the wheels....

most companies will not touch them. is the chunk missing on the inside or outside? 
if on the inside all you can do is paint them silver as you cant get them straightened either because of balancing issues.
p.s another thng i forgot to mention, they will keep on cracking no matter how many welds you have done. its happen to me before
