Dave39MD Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Is there someone in the business of safely repairing wire wheels? Specifically 1929 Chevrolet wheels. I have two that have no rust and run true but one has a couple of broken/missing spokes and the other has 5 of the 6 hub bolt holes wallowed out from running loose or the wrong lug nuts. Has anyone done this type of repair themselves? I am searching for a better one but they are one year only and mid year option introduction so hard to find.

edinmass Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Due to liability, very few people will service or repair them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Will Dayton rebuild them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave39MD Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Good lead on Dayton. Nothing they can do with the spoke issue but they are looking at photos of the hub bolt hole problem. thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFeeney Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I would look for wheels on the Chevy page. Were they used on other GM products of the same year? Also you should join the Antique Chevy club and advertise in their mag.( Well worth your money. ) The wheels are out there but you have to track them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave39MD Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Thanks, Good reminder I am in the VCCA but I should probably put a print ad in the G&D rather than just the forum. Not everyone is online. Dayton might be able to build a new wheel using a good hub but it would be adjustable spokes and expensive. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
