I've got a bent centerlock rim. Anyone know of or have experience with a vendor to straighten a centerlock? My regular guy can't mount it to his machine.

Can i really be the first one who needs a centerlock wheel straightened? Someone here must have a shop to recommend. Anyone??...

Try Wheel Enhancement in Los Angeles.

can you even straighten forged alu?

^ Good question. I bent a forged wheel. I could tell when I did it because it felt like vibration when a wheel weight comes off except a little worse. I couldn't actually see the bend. Sent it back to the manufacturer...he said it couldn't be repaired.

I flat spotted the rim/lip of an HRE P40SC at Laguna Seca here:



The consensus was that it could not be repaired w/o compromising the wheel... stress related

HRE Wheels

For safety precautions, typically once wheel is bent, it's time for a new wheel...
