[QUOTE="bobkyle2, post: 39206, member: 579"] So i went to harbor freight and bought a 50 dollar wheel trueing stand... here was my process left all the nipples loose put the wheel on the stand... my dad gave me some kind of old thermometer that you stick into meat ...and we taped it on the side of the stand (the thermometer had a nice point so we used it hahaha) we slide the wheel right up against the point and rolled it .. it had a wobble of about 30 percent of the wheel... so we took the rest of the 70percet that was like staying right on the point and started trueing from there started just running the backside nipples intill they were starting to make contact ... on the whole backside ... then did the front side..... and then we spun the wheel...... and it was really really close so then we started with the back side tighen then about a half turn... and then did the same on the front... spun the wheel..... looked good still did that 2 more times... and thats where i left it..... everything is tight and it rolls very smooth and true... i just dont know how tight i need to go on the spokes i got some pictures also..... mod'd the stand already too:devil: [/QUOTE]
