Wheel Straightening

Woodrow, before sending your wheels out to get straightened, I would talk to someone that is knowledgable regarding what kind of stress you put on the wheel when you bent it and what kind of stresses you will put on them when you try to bend them back into place. Think of the amount of force and stress you put on the wheel just in a single pass at the track. I am assuming the wheels aren't that bad if you are trying to repair them but, I would definitely consider the safety factor; it may not be worth doing it.
