Aluminum wheel repair

[cracker]

Any recommendations for a shop that can repair my Walker Evans flat spot? They'll have to anneal it and reshape it. I am in Pasadena but am willing to drive.

try calling these guys, they're in gardena and have a pretty good rep for repairing wheels, not sure if they do offroad stuf or not but it doesn't hurt to ask

Awesome Mike, dropped off the wheel and they are charging me $55 to repair it. Way cheaper than the $480 to buy a new on.

glad you got it handled :thumbup:

Took this in the other day to Bolton's

Bolton does good work. I've taken a few motorcycle wheels tehre and have never had an issue.

Up until I saw the bottle jack, I was impressed the tire still held air.

I have a couple square wheels, but yours will be the true test.
Anxious to see what it'll look like when its done.

What did you hit? I nailed a rock with one of my walkers and cracked it, but nothing like that.

FIFY

the inside lip was machined round.....the outside looks a little rough but for what we do I am hoping it should be fine.

 

[JohnX]

Rough, just the way your mother likes it Trebek!

Makes me think I should find a place to get my wheel repaired as well. It just has a slight crack from hitting a pothole.

OF course, finding someplace back here may be a challenge.

ROFL.

That was one of those things I wish I had never seen, let alone seeing it 5 or 6 times in one night.
