Can any and every wheel be repaired?

No, every wheel cannot be fixed, but most can. Welding and grinding a rim usually costs $50. There is no charge for wheels we cannot fix.

Is the wheel weakened by the straightening process?

Rarely. Studies have shown that the ACU-TRU™ wheel straightening process actually strengthens the temperment of the wheel. With 15 years or wheel straightening experience, you can be sure that your wheel will come out like new at The Wheel Warehouse Inc.

Why don't you use a lathe to get perfect runout?

Some others wheel companies get a wheel close and than machine the bead down to get "perfect" runout. We don't recommend the process for two reasons.

1. Removing material to get better runout gives you a thinner wheel, which can be prone to fracturing and can obviously only be done a few times. Wheels repaired with our process can be repaired again and again. Just ask some of the stunt riders we sponsor. Those guys know how to bend a wheel.

2. Using a lathe tends to be a quick fix for a big problem sometimes resulting in safety hazards for you and your family.

Who do you recomend to ship wheels through?

We use UPS.

Ship your wheels with a note; containing your name, address and telephone number to:

4600 Gateway Circle
Dayton, OH 45440
local phone - (937) 291-2332
toll free - (800) 941-6400
fax - (937) 291-9862

How long have you been doing this?

Since 1995. Long enough to master the side to side bends that no one else seems to be able to fix. See about us to learn more about our wheel straightening history.
