There are many shops that can fix bent aluminum wheels if not severe.
Have to tried contacting any of them?

Ya i don't think it would be worth it to find jsut a barrel. A lot of the Japanese barrels have varying bolt patterns and in fact a lot of them are welded together. Especially the 2 piece ones. As a result it cannot be disassembled.

your only option would be to repair the wheel or replace it completely. If this were a three piece wheel it's possible you might be able to salvage a barrel from another wheel off ebay or craigslist but that's still a gamble.

Call Kodiak Racing, they have blank barrels that they might be able to drill out to your wheel. I know they are pretty flexible, and can usually make anything if you send them wheel or measure it out for them.
