Bent Centerlines

[BRENT55]

I have been eating up Polished Centerlines on my 1600 car,and have been replacing them with new. I was told that I should not toss them because there are places that can straighten them out and look new again for 20/25 a rim...?

Who should I call? I was told that there was a place in Palmdale?

Thanks,
-BRENT!

I could use the excuse to go to Mexicali

These guys speak english, or do I have to bust out my Construction Spanish?

I have heard of some place around the Bellflower area?

Since the subject of bent aluminum rims is the topic, has anyone ever used dry ice to forge the bends out?

What is the theory/method behind that?

I have heard the aluminum needs to be cooled to be bent better, maybe a strength issue? I was hoping to hear from some one that knows.

Eddco is no longer around. Ed's dad Carlos Orosco owns U.S. Wheel Polishing and straitening in El Cajon. Carlos also runs Baja Pits. There is Rameros Wheel Polishing in El cajon that can fix them too.
