I replaced a set of rivieras with a set of pedrinis to be correct for my '72. Ever since I have had a 60mph vibration. Bought another rim which was bent too. I cannot afford to keep buying bent rims. Anybody know a place that can straighten these things out? Prefer close to Knoxville, TN so I can drop them off. But if need be I will remove tires and ship.
Thanks, BK |

You should be able to find someone under "wheel straightening" in the on line yellow pages. There of course are several outfits here in Atlanta if you get in a tight for a place.
