call a place in Dayton called Dayton Wire about having them true and paint
my wires for my 'B. Although, I do have enough spares to experiment. My
advice would be to have the truing done professionally, but experiment with
a spare wheel to see if you can make it a DIY maintenance item...
PS - call a motorcycle shop in your area - they may also offer truing.>>
Don't forget British Wire Wheel in Santa Cruz. The number I have for them WAS
408-479-4495. Like anywhere else, you may have to verify the area code.
My experience with them was about seven years ago. I sent them my old painted
wires from my daily driver (one at a time) and let them refirbish them. I
bought five chrome wire wheels a couple of years later.
