Buckled Spider

[dvs_dave]

I discovered today that one of my 18" spider wheels is buckled. No idea how it happened. It's not to bad but is sufficient to produce a shake at certain speeds. Can they be straightened or is it time for a new wheel?

Not a spider (Estoril - Griff) but had 2 buckled wheels. A company local to me managed to sort out one as the buckle was only slight but the other was too far gone and cracked when they tried it (they told me it might). So apparently it's possible but I'd say if you can get a replacement it's the safest bet in my opinion.

Spiders buckle +++, get rid of them and buy some SP 18" wheels from the Boss

I'd like to get some better wheels but imo the SP's look crap on a Tuscan. I've yet to see a wheel design that looks better than the spider.
