I am having a little difficulty truing a rear 18" aluminum wheel from Mikes. There is a seam in the picture that is causing some problems for me. It is bowed in about .015" on both sides and it is also a high spot on the vertical axis. I tried smacking it around a little with a mallet but to be honest I know how aluminum can be...bends a little then cracks. So, I am thinking about taking it down the street to an aluminum wheel repair shop to see if they can work their magic on it. I did a search earlier on the forum and only turned up issues with lacing. Has anybody else had this problem? I think the wheel cost me around a hundred bucks new. A little disappointed.
