Aftermarket rims? Are they worth repairing?

Hi everyone, I have a set of 18" triple chrome Lexani rims. I really like them but I haven't used them too often. So far 2 of the rims and tires are fine. The other two wont even bounce when I try to see if the tires need air. The problems I had with them before I got too aggravated and just removed them was that one of the rims was cracked and had to weld it and one is a little bent. The results have been to have to put air on the one tire every day and also I was having flat tires on the other rim every few weeks and my patience run out. I don't know if its worth going through the trouble to get them repaired or just keep my stock rims on... Also if anyone knows a shop near Philly/NJ that can repair them please let me know so I can call or stop by. Thanks

Personally I would get different rims. Why fix something on rims that you know to have issues and be prone to problems?

Yeah I see your point but im hesitant to get another set because the ones I have will just take up space in my basement. I figured I might as well pay a couple hundred and get the fixed and use the ones I have than fill up my basement with 2 sets of rims. I paid about 800 for them and barely used them for a few months.. However, If I ask around and have no luck by April, I might just do that and get a different set.
