I finally found a guy that knew what he was doing - Wheelmaster www.thewhelmaster.com I had an old liplace wire wheel that was out of alignment. I sent it to Wheel Smith in California - three times! The last time it was 13 ounces out of balance. I kept getting told how difficult it was to true a lip lace wire wheel. They, at least, refunded my money except for shipping, mounting and balancing. Then I found Wheelmaster and Morrie said, "it's just a wire wheel". Now it's straight and smoothe riding. If you need wire wheel work done on the west coast, I highlt recommend Morrie - The Wheelmaster.
