Steel Wheel Repair??

[cadpwrdyj]

I finally broke down and looked to see why my wheel was wobbling on the front. I bent the (lug nut) flange of the wheel that bolts to axle. Does anyone know where I can get that straightened or should I just buy a new one? Its a 15x8 steel TR bead lock wheel...

here in ga they charge $100 to straighten wheels, so i'd buy a new one

Buy a new one and put you a tire on the bent one for a full size spare.

Could you straighten it any with a hammer? Just good enough to get you out of the woods or fininsh riding for the day.

Its definitely spare worthy, I didn't know it was that expensive to straighten one. I think I am going to try and rig it up in a press and apply some gentle pressure to the mounting flange slowly around til it forms back into shape. I guess I will go ahead and order another one to be safe anyways....thanks guys...

Just as FYI.... I just called TR and apparently they are no longer making a 15" 8 on 6.5 steel wheel anymore. Vendor they were using stopped making the centers and so now they will discontinue them. So I guess its back to straightening the one I have...
