    Where would I go to get my 69 shelby 5 spokes re-chromed. Two of them have dents from a tire changer on the steel rim. I would like to have the dents taken out. Anyone know who would be able to do it?

    You can't just chrome the rims. Chroming requires emersing the entire rim with the center, so, then, even the center gets chromed.
    2 places will replace your chrome rim and retain your original center.
    One is Paradice wheels in California, the other is Shelby Parts and Restoration in Green Bay WI (ask for Jim Cowles)
