Straightening a wheel lip

[68l30]

Wish I could help, I've straightened a lot of stuff here at work with great results. The key is making a couple of dies to hold the rim and then reversing the direction of the dent, sometimes gradually other times all at once. Most likely the chrome will be marred in this area. I do a lot of SST and aluminum items but my last operation is to polish/finish them out. Weigh in the options of paying to straighten, then a possible re-chrome and your going to be upside down quick. Tape the area up with duct tape and give it some love. Hardwood (think baseball bat-ash)in front and behind and hammer the wood. Spinning it out would be even better. You have nothing to loose, it's already junk. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
