wheels
Finally pulled out some ralley wheels that are off a 1970 chevelle and wanted to restore them. The problem is that the lug nut holes seem to be rounded out. Is their anyone out there that knows of a reputable service that can restore these rims lug nut holes? I hate to throw out some original rims because of some wrong lung nuts.

Re: wheels
A reputable machine shop can probably weld up the holes and redrill them/bevel the edges etc. I would send them to Stockton Wheel in CA. They repair all types of wheels including aluminum etc. <A HREF="http://www.stocktonwheel.com

Re: wheels
Chevelle/ Monte Carlo Rally Wheels 15"x7" are not a rare item and fairly common. Before you spend a lot of time and $$$$ (shipping ,labor
ect.) try and see if you can pick up a good used original. Just my opinion.

Re: wheels
It's an SS ralley wheel with stampings. I really don't want to get rid of the wheels if they are salvagable. Anyone else out there drop a reply as I'm all ears.

Re: wheels
Jim, Stefano makes a good point. Unless they are date coded for your car I would probably find another set that is in better shape. By the time you have them repaired and restored you can probably find a better set for half the price. The repro 69 SS wheel looks good and would be the way to go if that is the style you desire....................RatPack................
