Re: Tighten the 21" rims straight
Talked to an engineer friend about shrinking spokes to straighten wheels. He's not much of a fan of putting uneven heat on wheels. He assured me that it will work, but feels it is not the best solution. He rather straighten them cold and is concerned that heating and quenching will make the metal brittle, which was also my concern. His thought was more along the line of heating the entire wheel and let it cool slowly, like in powder coating and use the best wheels on the front. Any other thoughts along those lines?
