There's a bloke in Tassie (Launceston) who does them. He does a lot of work for interstate customers and race teams. If your bloke in Sydney decides it's too hard, try Tru Wheels in Launceston (03) 6344 2400. I can't recall the bloke's name at present, but he did a good job straightening some thin web Laverda wheels for me a few years ago. Actually, they're the wheels now on Yogi's Barcelona replica. They're a well traveled set of wheels - Italy, Australia, USA, England, and now back in Australia  :D
 
That's similar to the comment the bloke made about my thin-webs. He said they were very soft and pushed back into shape with almost no effort. He said the needle on the pressure gauge on his press didn't lift off the stop. Not surprising when you consider how they got bent - by running over a squishy little possum.

They did my front akront and I was very happy with the work. I do recall FLAM wheels being very soft - perfect for straightening!
