Weld wheel repair?
I picked up a pair of Weld Draglites cheap, problem is some Bozo used an old fashioned tire machine on them at some time.
When I went to have the slicks mounted, I found that the old tire machine had hit the inner portion of the rim and dented it!
This stressed the dented area enough to pull the inner portion of the rim out of round. What I'm asking help on is, if anyone
knows of a place in the Washington, Baltimore or other area, that does rim repairs. I can beat on them until they are running true
again, but I'd really like the dent taken out also, if possible. Thanks in advance for your help, Dave :yesnod:

First I'd give Weld a call and see if they have a repair program or some good advice.
You may also want to fine a circle track racer, they have rims repaired all the time, they may have an answer.

Thanks John,
Actually a circle tracker did give me a hint about 'Keystone', once I get their # I'll call.
In the mean time I'm stuck with your old 17" salad shooters and my worn out BFGs!
BTW, those tread bare BFGs still hook! Guess I'll run 'em till I see the air!
