Is there anyone in the northeast of USA that straightens snowflake wheels?
Thanks

Found someone, thanks anyhow.
Would you care to share with the rest of the Club ?

I thought I would wait to see what kind of job they do before I shared it. I’m told that they straighten wheels for the race crowd at Loudon.
Can you share with us the year of your bike ?
Or maybe even the date code on the wheel itself ?

OK, I'm glad I waited until I met up with this guy. He didn't appear very comfortable working on a mag wheel and suggested I go with the guys in Arizona. I guess that is what I'm going to do, as it looks pretty painless(two week turn around). My bike is a 1984 R65 and the date code is 4/84. I looked at some of the stuff they have straightened and mine is so minor that they will likely laugh at me!
Hey, thanks !

Well, the wheel is headed back my way from Arizona. It was only out maybe .010” and the changes were very reasonable. The shipping was within $10 of the repair though. They would have to be in California to be any father away from Maine!
