The wheel repair professionals never beat anything with a hammer. They use hydraulic pressure. There are co's out there who will repair this wheel and it will be flawless but expect to pay $350-400 or more + shipping. Their expertise does not come cheap.

Forget rechroming..each chrome shop is different and the color won't match your other NOS wheels. </div></div>

Reminds me of when I rebuilt my A-arms. Called a front end shop that had a reputation for working on old cars, and asked if they could press in new bushings. They said, &quot;Of course, we do it all the time.&quot; I dropped them off, and when I returned, the guy told me they'd be ready in a few minutes. I looked out into the shop, and saw a worker walking with a sledge hammer in one hand and my A-arms in the other. I told the guy that I could have beat the bushings on, myself!! He just gave me a blank look and said, &quot;If you want your A-arms back, that'll be $40.&quot;
