Repairing wheels???

[josh.meaden]

hi all,
has anyone done or heard of re- rolling the inside of wheels?
I have one VE SSV rim that has a ding on the inner lip. its just a flat spot 40mm-50mm on the inside lip of the rim. Somone has told me that i can get the wheel re -rolled for approx $50 - $100? has anyoen heard of this process? is the cost about right? any other solutions??
cheers

Yep that price sounds about right. Alloy wheels with flat spots can be re-rolled and the flats worked out of it. They are basically spun slowly on a big lathe with a series of rollers exerting pressure on the inside of the rim to work it back out. Just look in your phone book or do a google search for 'wheel repairers' in your area.

Had a set of simmons done a few years back, came up a treat. Wheels in ballarat did the job.
