Flatspot Phils IS OUT OF ACTION AT THE MOMENT
Got some flatspotted, coned, and/or ovaled wheels? I can true them up for you.
The surface finish I am able to achieve is similar to that of slide prepped wheels.
I can also modify the profile of your wheels for you, If you want round, chamfered, or square edges on your wheels, I can do it.
If you have a worn set of wheels with now unsupported edges, I can square them up again, it just costs you a little bit of width.
Grooved wheels for rain? I can do it. I wont touch the new section of the wheel so you still have untouched thane for your contact patch.
Heck if you want me to cone your wheels for you, I can even do that too.
NOTE. the smaller the flatspot the less wheel I will have to take away to match it.
I am a trade qualified fitter and machinist and all work will be performed on a lathe.
I am not attempting to make copious amounts of cash from this but it would be nice if it helped me buy a set of wheels here and there, so price list is:
$5 for wheel truing. per set of 4.
$5 for wheel modifying. per set of 4.
$20 for wets.
plus enough to post them back to you.
Send your wheels to
Phil Bartlett
112 Lord Howe Drive
Ashtonfield 2323 NSW
include clear instructions of what work you want performed, to aid the speedy return of your wheels.
Payment: either include the cash inside your package, or paypal (philipbartlett@hotmail.com)
If you have any questions or concerns contact me via this thread/PM

Just got some wheels back from Phil,
They turned out awesome.
Below are some pictures showing the finish. It is top notch. The wheels I sent him were trashed, I didn't even ride them anymore because they weren't round, vibrated heaps and were slow. Now they are pretty much just like new, but smaller.
Everyone should be getting on this for sure.

This is a set i got phil to make me out of the 76mm centerset race forms, turned out exactly how i asked, very neat and precise (as far as i can tell). Everyone has their own ideas and theories, you can get him to make them however you like.

thats the way man, big deep wide cuts at right angles. ive done cuts like that on some In Heats, and also cut a square shaped cut into the inside lip. pretty much adds extra lips to the wheels, makes you actually slow down when sliding in the rain. Used them at Gold Rush in the rain and had full control over my traction, even though it was slippery i still had control and was able to slide to a stop if needed

Sick glad you guys are stoked on them!
Thanks for putting the pics up James and Tom, my camera doesn't handle close ups like that.
Jacko, all the wheels I have done so far have had 10mm contact patches separated by 5mm grooves.
If you have something specific you would like to try, just send me a drawing of what you want with the wheels and I can do it for you, not a prob.

cheers for the offer mate but i have a lathe at home too! the only reason i have not offered this service to people before is simply because i CBF haha... ive rounded out many-a-flatspots and cut a few sets of rain-wheels before so i know whats up, and i would also like to say that you are also doing a bang-up job from looking at the pics that people have posted up!
