Rally wheel straighening wrench
Took a bunch of rally wheels down to my friends shop to see if they were straight and not bent. There was a real nice one and the inner lip had a real good bend in it so i put it aside, he says let me see that one. Grabs this wrench that came with his tire shop when be bought it 30 years ago. Worked that lip till it was perfect. not a mark on it and you could not even tell. I made him promise me the wrench when he closed or sold.

Never saw one. Nice
When I moved in my current house, I found a weird tool in the shed. Turn out to be a “ tire iron” ive never came across one before. Even at the swaps. I always wanted a set of gold rally’s, I found a nice set, but one has an issue, I put it on the back of the car, that would prob fix it. |

A classmate of mine made something similar after he got a little too ambitious and smacked the curb while doing a burnout in our HS parking lot.He spent a few days in metal shop fabricating a tool that looked close to that.But he made the tool roughly 6" long.His inner rim jaw fit was dead on,but the tool was too short and too labor intensive & took forever.He needed leverage,so he slipped a piece of 3' fence pipe over it and Voila!

Neat tool. Does it have any identifying names or numbers, or was it a home made tool?
