    My kelsey Hayes rim need restoration. They are not in horrible shape but are some what pitted and the outer chrome. The back rims where "pinned" meaning a previous owner screwed the rims to the tires. 4 holes in the rim. I asked around here in FL, but can't find a shop. I hope it is cheaper and rather not buy re-issue

    Thanks

    Eric

    Eric,

    Try contacting Craig Conley at: www.paradisewheelsinc.com.

    His business includes Shelby wheel restorations.

    Later,
    Eric

    I'm sure Craig Conley does a nice job. I had my spare rim done by Jim Cowles of Shelby Parts and Restoration in Green Bay Wisconsin.
    what I liked about him is that I did not want anything done to the center "mag" section. Some restorers will paint the spoke area black, and mine did not come that way. I wanted to keep it natural, and he did.

    Craig Conley at Paradise Wheels is about as good as it gets for wheel
    restoration. He did my Shelby/Cragers last year and they came back
    in fantastic shape.
