Well Jesse, I went through this same scenario about a year and a half ago. I enquired about the same problem and was never given a reasonable fix that would be considered safe. Maybe somebody on here has an idea.

I thought that I remeber someone else asking this same question but I couldn't remember if there was ever an answer to the question. I had talked to a few guys at a car show this last weekend and they thought that the Keystone rim company would be a good place to start, but I haven't had much luck finding a person or department to contact there yet. If I come up with anything I will post it here so that you can check into it also.

maybe you could weld the holes shut and redrill them, or maybe cut the center out of a good wheel and weld it in..

Try Stockton Wheel service in California. They used to be a Kelsey Hayes dealer and can probably replace your centers as they do SS wheels with custom offsets and sizes as well as restore wheels. They straighted 4 wheels for me and I am very satisfied with their work. By the way does anybody know when I will lose this newbie status? Thanks

I think you will also lose it if you become a paid member and support the SYC
