Hi I just recently took a set of rims to do the same and they charge about 15-25.00 per wheel. Issue is I had 2 bent so I didn't get it done and need to get 2 more wheels. BUT, If you contact the list they may have a spare dead disc and bearing cap. Just take those 2 things in and your good to go. I would recommend doing all 4 since you will want to rotate tires and stuff. I also just bored out one of the dead rims for fun with a Large Rigid Hole saw. Do not remember the size but it ate up some aluminum quick. Then you can clean it up with a home depot style grinder. I am putting my set of a 71 Sunroof Bus.
