wire wheel repair

Have any of you guys ever done wire wheel repair? Or seen it done? Or even have any links to threads pertaining to this? Im extremely capable of being able to do the work just need the right pointers.

 

whats the application

 

Oh yeah, duh.

The wheels are 33 plymouth for my truck build.

 

do they just need to be straightened?

 

Two of them are really nice, but the other two have rust holes in the rim shell.

 

If there are rust holes in them throw them away! Do you want to be doing 80 mph and have a wheel fall apart?

 

Welded spokes like early Fords or nippled spokes?

 

Try Cork Adams in quincy IL. He repairs and restores wire wheels for a living. Well known in the Ferrari community.

Precision wire wheel Is the business name. Just search googl for him.

 

Thank you I'll be sure to get ahold of him. And close to home too!

 

Do you mean dimpled rim shell?
