Wheel Straightening & Repair |
|
A typical damaged wheel.

Not
only can Stockton Wheel remanufacture custom steel wheels for nearly any
application on a built-by hand, one-by-one basis, but it can also
build new steel wheels to your specs and straighten nearly any wheel
that's been bent, tweaked, or crunched.
And, the fact that it has
been around since 1883 means that Stockton is a godsend for wheelers who
need unusual, no-longer-made wheels with strange sizes, offsets, and
bolt patterns.
We also have many new
services, such as the ability to turn some factory 16-inch diameter
wheels into 16x8s for use with wider-than-stock tires. |

Stockton can either remanufacture steel wheels with new or used parts
from its own stock, or alter your old wheels if they're of a weldable
two-piece design. In other words, the center section needs to be
removable from the rim and both pieces must be made of steel.
While custom wheel rebuilding is limited mostly to steel wheels,
Stockton can straighten forged, spun, cast or billet aluminum wheels.
Some wheels may be too mangled to be straightened, but you'd be
surprised at the wonders Stockton can work. Stockton's special fixture
allows for checking of center section trueness as well as hop
(egg-shaped) and wobble (excessive side-to-side run-out).
 In
addition to building custom wheels and straightening your old ones,
Stockton has a huge supply of used stock and aftermarket wheels and
parts. In fact, one of Stockton's most valuable services to builders of
custom 4x4s may be rebuilding or locating wheels with one-off bolt
patterns or weird sizes.
