Has anyone here had stock corvette ralley wheels fixed to take out a wobble? Maybe heard of someone that can do this type of work? I have the set I removed from my car a couple of years ago because they do not run true. These are dated AZ wheels but not worth much unless I can get them straight. Any thoughts?

Have you tried a Yahoo or Google search for "Wheel Straightening" or "Wheel Repair". There are companies out there that may be able to help you out.

Good luck,
Dino

It depends how bad the wobble is, I had a rim that was bent off of a work vehicle that hit a curb, took it down to costco to have the tire removed because it was new..Instead they were able to straighten out the rim and re-balance.. Might want to check with your local tire shops if they are able to do the same thing

I've sent Rally's to these folks for both straightening and to have back-space reduced or increased. Good folks,..been around since the 1800's:

I have the same issues with 3 of 4, the best price I was able to find to repair them was $90.00 a wheel Needless to say I went for a set of repros at $72.00 each and shelved the originals for now.

Try to find a front-end alignment shop that has been around for a while. Those old timers know how to use a press to fix your wheels, the newer shops just want to replace them. It's worth getting an estimate.

There is an old "Bear brand" equipped shop up here that has been working steel wheels forever.
