Listers,
Over the years I have straightened slightly bent steel
wheels. Most non TR ones had slight rim bends but
the TR2-6 style seem to mostly be bent around the
center. Usually done with a BFH and short piece of
wood 4x4 under the center. I bring them to work and
check the progress on our spin balancer. They bend
easy and are not too hard to bring back. Sometimes
they do not come out perfect but usually able to salvage
the wheel. Major curb hits I don't even try,but tire machine
victims can be saved.
YMMV...
