As an option...
Stoddard has a core trade in program. I know they farm it out...if they would let you know who they use that would be a good thing. I bought 4 and they are very well done. Centers cut out, plated, buffed and then centers welded back in.

I used these guys,Wheel Repair - Wheel Customizing - Your Body Shop for Wheels! not for chrome,wheel was center bent and egg shaped from an accident.I sent it to one place and it came back worse that when it left. These guy did a great job looked like new.I'm sure they do chrome.

We (Stoddard NLA) will actually have all-new steel wheels available in a few weeks. We've sourced the original dies and are making them here in Ohio. They're simply stunning—appearing original, but with higher-strength steel and a beautiful finish.
I am in the process of uploading a short video on how the centers are made: wheel centers - YouTube We will have samples at the Lit Meet... Per (noting that I have to change my username) |

Just saw the nearly-fully-cooked chrome wheels and posted on our Facebook page. More images, etc to come. Per Stoddard NLA |
