Hendrix has done my wheels (and break drums) for 20 years. No shakes! Price is very fair but shipping is the killer. I came home from California Healey Week in San Louis Obispo last summer with 7 broken spokes. $250 for shipping wheel with tires to Hendrix.
Allens work, with balance, truing wheels and re shaving tires was about $125 and $125 for shipping back. When I needed new tires two years ago, they are sent direct to Hendrix overnight. He is very fast. The UPS, not so much. As I live in snow country, I have
a very short driving season so speed is important to me.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As I mentioned elsewhere what is shown is all very well for new wheels with new tyres however, in my experience, all wire wheels tend to go out of round over the years, probably
because of uneven spoke tension when originally built, and once that occurs no amount of balancing will resolve things. </span></font></p>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The only solutions are:</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">1.Buy new wheels and tyres again. (Expensive)</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">2. Remove the tyres and have the wheels "trued" [an advanced skill], strip and repaint then remount new tyres, (Expensive and time consuming)</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">3. Shave the tyres as they are on the wheel. ( Inexpensive and remarkably effective).</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">4. Put up with the scuttle shake.</span></font></p>
