You might try a guy I talked with the other day
about building some Magnum 500's for me. He is in Portland, OR and I
believe he repairs wheels also. Haven't done any business with him but,
seemed very helpful on the phone.

or repair
Does
anyone know of a company that trues bent rims, or sells straight ones? Mine
are original 15".

theories?
Dan, can't say for sure what the off-set is, but my favorite stock wheel
choice is the 15" cop car wheels. They take 235-255-70 tires real nice, and
fit just about everything (4-1/2") pattern. You can even buy new re-pros,
black sloted type. Dave.

i believe the factory offset was 4 1/4 inches.

original engineering call for in the way of wheel offset? A wider tire
should be OK, as long as the offset doesn't change. I would think a drastic
offset (different than OEM) would effect the steering / bearing / axle
torque and other characteristics.
