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!

[@amsyarazhar7865]

What did he mean when he said “machining it down if needed” at 7:17? How do you “machine it down”?

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]

God damn that's Insanity how bad are the potholes over there? Are these OEM Audi rims?

[@shanescarlife]

@@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]

Crazy... So your telling me not to move to Winnipeg 😂

[@shanescarlife]

@@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)

[@carswithsonduren]

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

[@themikeymikechannel2947]

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%

[@blownstang100]

Union Rim repaired my Corvette ZR1 wheel. Fixed the front end vibration. These guys are the best in the GTA.

[@carswithsonduren]

Glad to hear man John is a great guy with his team. zr1 eh ... Beautiful car and so beastly

[@Mr.LightMode]

Another great educational vid 👍👍

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks brother ✌️ Can't wait to show you the next video on how the rims turned out

[@kianustarr]

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.

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks Jae, I can't wait to show you the results ;) Stay tuned...

[@donellis5005]

Are forged wheels stronger than cast alloy wheels?

[@WeeSmokey]

Hel yeah fitment industries do a good video on forged wheels

[@christianejike9848]

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

[@citimatters8473]

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.

[@christianejike9848]

How much can I get the rim straightening machine.i do work rim but in a local way.

[@strumpeteer]

Why didn't you show the hydraulic press in action repairing the wheel? Isn't that the whole point of the video?

[@carswithsonduren]

Certain parts are secret

[@oldengdg2575]

So the How is just to let these people do it. You don't show the hydraulic bending so this video is worthless.

[@skywalk3x]

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

[@carswithsonduren]

If I told you I was stalking you would you be upset :-) hahaha. Glad you're enjoying the videos and find them helpful !

[@carswithsonduren]

What color are you getting your wheels done?

[@skywalk3x]

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

[@carswithsonduren]

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!

[@shaba.4114]

Cant wait to see the rims refinished!

[@scarlettnetworks]

Thanks for the video....3 of my rims for my 550 are bent, talking them to Union next week!

[@carswithsonduren]

Wow 3 of them? How did that happen? Glad to hear you are going to them, John will take care of you!

[@roypacheco6122]

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

[@johnm9481]

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.

[@АлександрВовк-в5р]

Добрый день как называется станок и марка его?

[@JohnDoe-sd4ou]

Where is the shop located?

[@carswithsonduren]

Toronto Ontario

[@JohnDoe-sd4ou]

@@carswithsonduren i will stop by at the end of September. I am in Pennsylvania.

[@manuelnava3868]

nice. about how much is this process cost?

[@josuesinho9710]

I took my rim to a shop and they told me it's center bent and it's not fixable.

[@carswithsonduren]

That’s unfortunate but yes sometimes these rims cannot be repaired depending on the damage.

[@Eomak]

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.

[@carswithsonduren]

Glad it helped man welcome to the channel 😊

[@spencerlarson2630]

Looking to have a rim Fixed in MPLS. Cool to see the basics of how these repairs are done!

[@f1fanatic80]

Can a bent rim be fixed without damaging the finish of the wheel? Or does the rim need to be refinished after its straightened?

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes it can be fixed

[@joostkorngold2729]

Cool video, I have a very similar wobble on a Forged wheel. Can forged be corrected like in this video?

[@carswithsonduren]

Not sure for forged tbh I would do some more research online

[@ADADIZZLE]

LOL the demonstration Rims you use are the ones I have and I have a rim bend. Also I powder coated mine Red.

[@carswithsonduren]

No way hahaha small world

[@markhadap7602]

I had a cracked rim fixed by them and it wasnt professionally done. It wasnt smooth surface 😔

[@carswithsonduren]

Really? Did you ask them to look at it?

[@markhadap7602]

@@carswithsonduren no ddnt want to drive back. Very disappointed 😞

[@carswithsonduren]

I would give them a call and see what they can do.

[@Coldheart1903]

What a coincidence...my aftermarket wheels arrived today for my S5. 😁

[@carswithsonduren]

Which wheels ?!

[@eastcoastninja6516]

Does fixing bent rim ruin the rim paint?

[@carswithsonduren]

Nope unless the paint is already damaged

[@damndanyo]

Why dont you call me out to join you for these things! :P

[@carswithsonduren]

My bad mannn I'm just flying around everywhere like a chicken with no head

[@puppygadget3189]

Love that first wheel.

[@johnparkerzabala]

Wow thanks how many days did it take?

[@carswithsonduren]

Couple days! Really amazing considering the amount of volume they get

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

Need someone like you in Florida

[@carswithsonduren]

No one around in your area that can do this type of work?

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

@@carswithsonduren none that i can find doing a google search. I have called about 10 tire shops and all have no clue.

[@carswithsonduren]

Wow I'm sorry to hear that :(

[@Solaymon]

Get a bronze finish on the rims. Would look nice against the black

[@carswithsonduren]

Bronze is becoming a huge trend right now

[@es3502012]

Now I am so scared that my rims may be bent...although there s no noticeable vibration

[@stacydornan9765]

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

[@carswithsonduren]

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 :)

[@nometalgearr]

Howmuch did it cost?

[@carswithsonduren]

Price range various on many factors.

[@nometalgearr]

@@carswithsonduren I didn't know they're in Canada. I contacted them. Thanks for the vid!

[@carswithsonduren]

Tell him you saw my video :)

[@leosdreamon681]

How per wheel?

[@carswithsonduren]

It depends on the damage etc.
