Default sheel slightly out-of-round...help...

i have fixed everything on my wheels but one last thing...i have one that is just slightly out-of-round. does anyone know how to get it straightened without having to take it to a shop? i thought of using a propane torch to heat then pund it back t shape. any suggestioons would help. if not, anybody know of a good shop around OKC?

Take it to a shop, where they will have the machines to make it true again. By just pounding on it, you're likely to just make it out of round in some other area.

Wheels America has a location in Dallas.

If you're looking for a wheel repair place right in Oklahoma City, ask your dealer or independent mechanic or body shop where they send their wheels out for repair/refinishing work. If there's a local place, they'll know. (If they send them out to Wheels America or Transwheel, then there probably isn't one in town.)
