The lovely roads here in Winnipeg managed to bend all 4 wheels on my S4 this past winter, which also lead to damage to a wheel bearing. I feel your pain
@@carswithsonduren yup. Stock 19 inches. It wasn't the potholes, it was the frost heaves. It felt like driving across railroad tracks for hundreds of meters at a time. Thankfully that road is getting resurfaced this summer
@@carswithsonduren well, let's just say there are certain roads I would counsel you to avoid, on anything other than a hovercraft.... LOL! (It's actually a very nice city. We just have some really crappy roads)
Very informative, Union Rim was a great find. As for rim refinish, I'm biased toward a silver aluminum; but I can tell you want to go with the same gun metal or darker. Great video, thanks.
I took a batch of computer case panels for powder coat, and a few of them had holes in them which need patched. There are a NUMBER of ways to go about patching them and *John* proposed to weld them. The guy turn my panels into T-1000 from Terminator 2. Moral of the story, don't ask anyone to weld unique/irreplaceable parts until that person has demonstrated to you that they can actually do it.
Thanks for info and process it takes to fix....I took my wheels in to get some comedic work done.. found out inner rears where bent ..Not that i noticed while driving..I was like whats? bent? but they fixed while tires were off and this video showed me ...more in depth what my shop was talking about. Thanks.
I got a rim not sure if it’s cracked or not I’ve taken steel wool and it looked sorta like a crack right across the back of rim it’s a torque thrust 2 with a 28 but 11am a half wide also whoever installed put a bend in were they put the bar to put the Hoosier on we’re are you guys located in Toronto don’t want to do a burn out and a rim take out my quarter panel what’s your phone number so I can bring my rim to you guys
Wow man I watched your video on BC coilovers and I got some and now im getting my wheels done, I think your stalking me, lol. great video man I appreciate the info
Canadian Rider yeah your knocking it outta the park with the videos, They are already Phantom Black like my car and I’m getting them done over because of curb rash. A garbage truck and I didn’t agree on lanes so I had to sacrifice my wheels over my body
A shop was able to fix my 22inch rim, but they put 12 .25 wheel weights on the rim. Is this normal? I still get a lot of vibration. More than before actually
I would say that's normal. I would suggest check if the wheel is hub centric and check the balance on the other three. Roadforce balance them if you can. Will tell you if it's a problem from tire or wheel.
Flat tires and or bent rim(s) caused by sink holes - I mean pot holes by ass holes who are uneducated on how to fix ass holes - I mean pot holes on our roadways! make the county or city pay for it - 100%
PSA: While 30 thou is what some typical shops look to have as a tolerance for straitening, John works to get it within 7 thou of variance!
What did he mean when he said “machining it down if needed” at 7:17? How do you “machine it down”?

Union Rim repaired my Corvette ZR1 wheel. Fixed the front end vibration. These guys are the best in the GTA.
Glad to hear man John is a great guy with his team. zr1 eh ... Beautiful car and so beastly

God damn that's Insanity how bad are the potholes over there? Are these OEM Audi rims?
@@carswithsonduren yup. Stock 19 inches. It wasn't the potholes, it was the frost heaves. It felt like driving across railroad tracks for hundreds of meters at a time. Thankfully that road is getting resurfaced this summer
Crazy... So your telling me not to move to Winnipeg 😂

My mom used to live in Winnipeg back in the early 1990s

Thanks Jae, I can't wait to show you the results ;) Stay tuned...
Thanks for the video....3 of my rims for my 550 are bent, talking them to Union next week!
Wow 3 of them? How did that happen? Glad to hear you are going to them, John will take care of you!

Another great educational vid 👍👍
Thanks brother ✌️ Can't wait to show you the next video on how the rims turned out

Glad it helped man welcome to the channel 😊
Cant wait to see the rims refinished!

If I told you I was stalking you would you be upset :-) hahaha. Glad you're enjoying the videos and find them helpful !
What color are you getting your wheels done?
Canadian Rider yeah your knocking it outta the park with the videos, They are already Phantom Black like my car and I’m getting them done over because of curb rash. A garbage truck and I didn’t agree on lanes so I had to sacrifice my wheels over my body
Oh god well I'm glad you're okay at the end of the day at least you're good you're Wheels can be fixed!
Looking to have a rim Fixed in MPLS. Cool to see the basics of how these repairs are done!
Love that first wheel.
LOL the demonstration Rims you use are the ones I have and I have a rim bend. Also I powder coated mine Red.
No way hahaha small world
How much can I get the rim straightening machine.i do work rim but in a local way.
nice. about how much is this process cost?
Are forged wheels stronger than cast alloy wheels?
Hel yeah fitment industries do a good video on forged wheels
Can a bent rim be fixed without damaging the finish of the wheel? Or does the rim need to be refinished after its straightened?
Yes it can be fixed
Wow thanks how many days did it take?
Couple days! Really amazing considering the amount of volume they get
Cool video, I have a very similar wobble on a Forged wheel. Can forged be corrected like in this video?
Not sure for forged tbh I would do some more research online
Need someone like you in Florida
No one around in your area that can do this type of work?
@@carswithsonduren none that i can find doing a google search. I have called about 10 tire shops and all have no clue.
Wow I'm sorry to hear that :(
That's my hand work but in a local way. Can I get in touch with you so that I can improve my self with the machinery's
A shop was able to fix my 22inch rim, but they put 12 .25 wheel weights on the rim. Is this normal? I still get a lot of vibration. More than before actually
I would say that's normal.
I would suggest check if the wheel is hub centric and check the balance on the other three.
Roadforce balance them if you can. Will tell you if it's a problem from tire or wheel.
Does fixing bent rim ruin the rim paint?
Nope unless the paint is already damaged
Where is the shop located?
Toronto Ontario
@@carswithsonduren i will stop by at the end of September. I am in Pennsylvania.
What a coincidence...my aftermarket wheels arrived today for my S5. 😁
Which wheels ?!
Добрый день как называется станок и марка его?
Great vid Bri,I need to go see that dude to fix my Firebird Formula LS1 rim and check my other mounted one's as I have a vibration
Give him a call and see what he says. He's been doing this for a long time he knows everything and you will be in good hands :)
I had a cracked rim fixed by them and it wasnt professionally done. It wasnt smooth surface 😔
Really? Did you ask them to look at it?
@@carswithsonduren no ddnt want to drive back. Very disappointed 😞
I would give them a call and see what they can do.
I took my rim to a shop and they told me it's center bent and it's not fixable.
That’s unfortunate but yes sometimes these rims cannot be repaired depending on the damage.
Why didn't you show the hydraulic press in action repairing the wheel? Isn't that the whole point of the video?
Certain parts are secret
Get a bronze finish on the rims. Would look nice against the black
Bronze is becoming a huge trend right now
Why dont you call me out to join you for these things! :P
My bad mannn I'm just flying around everywhere like a chicken with no head
Howmuch did it cost?
Price range various on many factors.
@@carswithsonduren I didn't know they're in Canada. I contacted them. Thanks for the vid!
Tell him you saw my video :)
How per wheel?
It depends on the damage etc.
Flat tires and or bent rim(s) caused by sink holes - I mean pot holes by ass holes who are uneducated on how to fix ass holes - I mean pot holes on our roadways! make the county or city pay for it - 100%
Now I am so scared that my rims may be bent...although there s no noticeable vibration
So the How is just to let these people do it. You don't show the hydraulic bending so this video is worthless.
