These wheels are two piece, barrel and lip is one and face is the other, compared to three piece where lip barrel and face all come apart. You could get a shop to cut them off and reweld new lips but not gonna be cheap.
Try to see if a shop can repair the imperfections you currently have.

Its not cheap but its cheaper then buying new 4" lips.

And one question, do you use any product to protect the lips to avoid the loosing of the polish finish???
