[Bmcu] Steel wheel repair

[R J DAVIS]

Jon, your idea of purchasing the machine might not be a bad idea.  I checked with a company today and they told me it would be a minimum of $100-$150.  I can purchase new alloy wheels at that price.  I've a line on five original wheels that will cost me about the same.  Probably go that direction.

Thanks Gary. Pyles it is. Maybe we should ask to buy their jig and tooling and go start a small business or at least take some pictures of their equipment and go duplicate it for our own use :)

I believe you mean Pyles 3154 S 300 W. I stopped there last week hoping they could straighten some steel wheels but they said they don't do it any more.

Roger,
On 300 West around 2800 South on the west side of the street is an alignment shop whose name, I think, begins with H. They have a sign on the front of their building that is/was yellow. About twelve years ago I had an old boy there straightened five Volvo wheels amazingly well for me. He used a substantial jig to which he clamped the wheels with all the necessary attachments to check run-out in all directions and all the levers, clamps, dollies and hammers to straighten out any bends or dings that had not split the metal. The old boy is gone, but the  tools were still there five or so years ago when I took my BMW to them for a four wheel alignment that cost me $90 instead of $180 charged by BMW Murray for the same people to do the same work. Soon after that having seen the equipment still there, I took my MG TD wheels to them. They told me they were looking for somebody who knew how to use the equipment but had no one at the time to do the work. I took my wheels home, beat on them a little myself and haven't been back. The shop might now be worth a try. Sorry I can't pull out their name or recognize it in the phone book.
 
Jon

Has anyone had any experience with a steel wheel repair company in the SLC area.  I have a slightly bent steel wheel and would like to get it "trued."
