I have a 17" aftermarket aluminum wheel with a flat spot in it from hitting a pothole. The wheels are no longer made and I can not seem to find a singleton anywhere. Before I toss the entire set in the scrap heap I want to at least try to take the flat spot out to see if it can be balanced again. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions? I was thinking of warming it with the torch and making some type of rolling wheel that can be set on the inside of the wheel. I have a South Bend 16/24 or a rim clamp tire machine that I can chuck the wheel on if necessary.
Also, I can not seem to find anyone locally that does this work routinely and to ship it somewhere, pay for it to be retrued and shipped back I may as well by a different used set.
