Bent rims

[Urban Surfer]

How well can rims be straitend?

I was washing the beast today and noticed both rims have a minor indetation in them.

A minor price to pay considering how hard I hit that rut at 120 kmh on the Baja.

Look for a recent thread here or do a search. Can be done fairly easily if you can stand to beat on the rim with a rubber or wood mallet. If cracked, replace the rim.

I had a professional straighten my rim for $150 which included mounting a new tire and balancing. I took it to a company that specializes in straightening alloy rims for cars. My personal opinion is that it was worth the $150 to have them do it.

David Moore in Hesperia, Ca. Can't find his card with his number. Fixed a couple mildly dented rims for a reasonable price.

I was going to try that straightening thing, but then I found a set of almost brand new wheels on e-bay for 100 bucks. Guys wife just wanted them out of the garage.

 

Worth a look...

Would you have the name of that company?
