    I'm currently looking locally for somebody who can straighten a wheel for me. Anyone ever had any luck or recommendations for someone that does this?

    I finally got around to mounting tires up on this pair of rims. One of them balanced out fine, but the other needed about 6 oz. of weight, and apparently (I didn't see it personally) has a wobble to it. The tech at the service shop called me and asked what I wanted to do. I had him break the tire down off the rim, and he said the rim had some wobble to it. They look really good; no curb rash or dents I can see, so I'm torn on what to do. I figured straightening might be my only option other than re-hooping it (If the shells are available). It's not the optimal thing I would do, but originals aren't very easy to come across in this good of a condition, especially in a 15x4 size.

    Thanks. Didn't have much luck finding someone so far. A lot of places are refusing to work on chrome rims.
