..being a bicycle builder for 40+ years and I started doing customers
car wire wheels, but have found, in past ten years, that's it's cheaper
for them to just buy new wire wheels..
The problem with auto wheels is that the rims are so massive that using
a spoke to true them will strip the spoke or nipple long before the rim
reacts. They are built on a jig that locates the hub and rim and dish,
then the spokes are tightened, so there is no "truing" as in a bicycle
wheel.

Anyone ever approached your bicycle shop about this? The next

Here is a link to Hagerty (insurance) that list some places
around the country that do the work. Not sure how current the
