Anyone know of a good source for rim straightening or wheel truing?

I have, as reported by John D, a wheel that wobbles.

I just called a local wheel repair company, as I have a slightly bent wheel too,  and he said removing a lateral bend on a steel wheel is nearly impossible. He recommended purchasing a replacement, whether used or aftermarket.

Pioneer Rim and Wheel, Keystone also has a wheel repair service for classic number match rims. See if Larry could get a discount on it, won't be cheap.

We use Keystone at work, but it's almost all alloy wheels. I don't know of any steel wheel places. Best to call around. I think there's also Twin City Wheel and Alloy Wheel Specialists but you'd have to google search.

I think the second two sources are whom I am familiar with in the past for customer wheels. Daves right, they werent cheap to have one re-done.
