Hello Fred and welcome to the forum. Are you asking about "truing" rims? That is making sure the rim is round and straight. You can true a spoked rim. Cast rims not so much.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

If you're looking for someone that can true a bent motorcycle wheel, the only one I know of is Woody's wheel works in Denver, CO. I've seen them take wheels that nobody else would touch and have it straighter than it came from the factory.
