m6power Report post Posted December 13, 2012 I'd be very cautious doing any repairs on a cast wheel. Why is that? I dont know how bad the wheel is bent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emanon Report post Posted December 13, 2012 Why is that? I dont know how bad the wheel is bent. Cast wheels are generally more brittle than forged centers with a spun hoop, so they don't take well to being manipulated multiple times. Hard to say without seeing the wheel, but if it were *my* car, i'd just buy a new one for safety concerns alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff SD Report post Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks for the help. Hopefully I can find one, its been tough so far. Are you looking for Rear or Front wheel? I know where you can find a rear Callisto. As long as it's your barrel that's bent and not the hub it should be repairable. You might want to contact Nathan at Velvet Wheel Repair 760-846-0942 ( San Diego). He does most of the repairs for Symbolic and other high line dealers. Good Luck! J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill give Nathan a call, I cant find anything online, unless I want to purchase a brand new wheel for nearly 2k, which I dont.
