Rallye wheel trim; restore or replace?
I have a 1969 Corvette that currently wears American Racing T70's with BFG Radials. I would like to restore the original rallye wheels and, if I can find them, install some white line radials.
The original trim rings have a few dents and I was wondering if it makes sense to have the rings / center caps restored or am I better off replacing them with reproductions? Does anyone know who restores these items and, if so, any ideas how much something like that would cost?

There is a guy who restores trim rings. Let me find his number. He is on eBay under Georickparts. His name is Rick Miller out of Utah. He did an amazing job on my original 4 clip rings on my 67 RS/SS, and my 69 Z/28. He is an NCRS guy and is very reasonable.

----I knew Rick when he lived in California and he does great work. Like so many others he got a bit tired of the congestion in Cali and moved a bit east. You will like what you receive back......Bill S

Rick has restored two sets of trim rings for me, and does a good job. Not cheap but again you get what you pay for. I would suggest restoring your trim rings and put them on the Vette. Both sets of trim rings he did for me were for my 67 Vettes.
