I just sent my wheels off to get them straightened back out (wife would have killed if i dropped 2k on forged ones) and i was wondering if anyone has tried this before and if so how did they come out.

 

i had a bunch of car wheels repaired...you'll never know the difference.

 

small stuff you can fix with a rubber mallet.

 

Where did you send it? I've got a bent lip I want to repair. Let me know

 

I sent the wheels off to frame straight systems. they charge 140 for straightening and add 30 for welding and machining if needed. they claim to get the wheel within .005". on the web page they have some really wrecked wheels that look brand new after the fix. i just won't get to see mine for at least two weeks from now.

 

That's the same place I was going to refer him to. It would be interesting to know what your total charge would be to get a dented rim repaired. Keep us posted !!

I will it may take a while their viocemail said they were running about 10 to 20 days behind so i am stuck here on my couch till then.

 

man i wish i had the cash to get the priority fixing done. Anyhow i'm looking at 340 shipped i'm going to pay tonight and hopefully i'll get them thurs or so i'll let you know how they all turned out. i would have had them by now but i just got back from spending a week in the atlantic

 

dead blow and some anger will get the small ones...is it completely taco'd or wut

 

the front was bad hit a fence at 30 or so and the rear had a good wooble so i sent them off cause i knew anything over 20 mph would be dangerous

 

From my experience they get them pretty straight, but they just dent that much easier the next time after the repairs. They heat and bent the dent back and that weakens the rim even more, next time you hit that spot it gets an even bigger dent than before.. Id do it myself if the rim wasnt holding air but wouldnt spend money on straightening them ever again....
