Any machine shop? Yikes!
I'd be very careful and have it done at a shop experienced in this type of work, start of with a wrongly sharpened and set cutting bit and the finish will be crap. The wheel needs to be true and fitted to an accurate mandrel. No room for error unless you want lightweight rims.
