Mark Huston Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Can anyone direct me to someone, or a company, that can repair a wire wheel? I have a wire wheel that has non-adjustable spokes, and is missing one spoke. This problem was discovered during the striping process in preparation for powder coating. Now the process is stopped until I can find someone who can repair and replace the missing spoke. I live near Sacramento, CA and ideally I would like to locate someone within a reasonable driving distance in CA. I do not want to ship the wheel because if it was lost in shipping it would be next to impossible to find a replacement wheel. And yes, I have had rare and valuable parts lost in shipping before. Any suggestions? P.S. The wire wheel that I have is a 19” wire wheel that was only used on the 1929 Studebaker President Brougham. No other year, or model, President used this wheel. This is why I don’t want to trust it to shipping companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palosfv3 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Check with Jim and Gary Mc Lean at Rally America they are near Sacramento. They did a set of Robergel wire wheels for my Facel Vega and did an outstanding job. They build new wire wheels for early Fords. He should be able to help.www.rallyamerica.comLarryWGM Auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Huston Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thank you Larry, I did not know about Rally America, they are only a two hour drive, so nice and close. I will contact them to see if they will do my wheel repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
