Don:
There seem to be plenty of used ones floating around that are in
good shape, and they generally go for cheap ($100 for a set of 4). My local
LBC shop has stacks of them sitting around. I just picked one out for
my spare tire (Why do DPOs throw them away? Strange...)
Why bother getting them fixed? I suppose if you wanted to keep the
car "100% original", but otherwise...?
Cheers,
Vance

Hi Bob and list,
I assume from this thread there is no place to get new original TR6
steel wheels?
Can the old ones be straighten? Usually, rarely? My local tire places
seem to think that they can only be straightened if the bead lip is
pushed outward. Can't straighten much else -- wobbles etc. Can anyone
suggest a shop in the northeast or anywhere that can do more?

Thanks,
