Well, as some of you know I've been having some problems with my truck shaking a bunch. Both U-Joints seem to be okay, so i went with the balancing the wheels route. When I got the tire shop to pick them up they told me my passenger side wheel was bent. So I need to find another wheel. It's a 20x8 Eagle 212. I posted a WTB ad in the parts section.

Beyond repair?

**special-K** · 05-11-2007, 06:50 PM

Dang,that sucks.Are they still made?I wonder if a wheel repair place can fix it.

ratrod67 · 05-11-2007, 06:57 PM

I had those wheels but they were 18's on a 67 camaro. You could practically kick them and bend them. I had mine fixed 3 different times by a place called Wheels America in Dallas. Mine were bent enough you could see it across the street. If you can't really see yours it should fix easily. Cost $108 each time to fix.

Do you have full truck pictures with those rims mounted? Those are sharp!

*72CSTC5* · 05-11-2007, 11:35 PM

have it repaired. Check with any of your local bodyshops and they can point you in the right direction. Most wheel recon shops charge around 100.00 dollars and offer 24 hour turn around service.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-11-2007, 11:40 PM

i dont see why you need a new wheel when you should be able to have that one fixed like the others said, goodluck with it

5150 · 05-11-2007, 11:45 PM

Thanks for the ideas guys, I'll check into it.

Here's a pic of the truck

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-12-2007, 02:24 AM

nice stepper, i like the flames

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-12-2007, 04:53 AM

Brian,

Is it near the top in the 1st pic at about the 1 o'clock position?

If so I 2 also think that can be salvaged

JAKES 68GMC · 05-12-2007, 09:41 AM

Time for some Torque Thrust's!

Thats too bad your wheel is bent, hopefully you can find another one or get that one fixed.

jsbgump · 05-12-2007, 11:24 AM

I would also think you could get it fixed

5150 · 05-12-2007, 01:15 PM

Craig, that pic is from Maggie last year. That's the driver's front wheel. The one that is bent is the pass front.

Driver177 · 05-12-2007, 02:04 PM

There is a place in Williamsport Maryland that specializes in this type of thing.. they do classic wheel restoration.. I'll get the number for you.. or look them up in the web..it's called WheelTech.

5150 · 05-12-2007, 11:46 PM

thanks for the info

68C15 · 05-13-2007, 12:08 AM

are they cast or forged?
I for one would be afraid of a repaired aluminum wheel.
