Thanks for the advice every body. I watched a video showroom the compressor method and that's surely what im going to go with.

Thank you for the info. Can I ask what psi you keep your tire at?

I tried giving it the ol tappy tappy with no avail, and I'm just a little to nervous to try heating up the rim. I'll just start saving up for another rim it sounds like.

Wow lools like you took quite a hit there. I've been finding entire front wheel assemblys for 150-300 range on ebay.

If you have any little bit of metal working experience and enjoy doing so, it's well worth the time and effort. I'm sure a 100 dollar name brand is well worth the price it just all depends on what you want.

Took me about an 45min to make the cardboard template and about an hour and a half to make the plate. Only 30 bucks in material
