Default Re: Tighten the 21" rims straight

Dyna beads go inside the tire and find their own balance. They will not correct for run out though.

Bent spokes can be straitened a number of ways but it generally takes a solid mounted hub to work a wheel in a press for best run out. during the process of straightening a person can bend a spoke pretty easy but as mentioned before, the stretch has to be relieved by shrinking with a torch.

A bent rim is another story. They are much more difficult to straighten. There were tools to do such work back in the spoke wheel era.

Here is an example: http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/wheelstraightener.htm
