#1 Original rims- who restores them ?

Post by Durango2k » Fri Dec 23, 2016 9:22 pm

All,

Despite minor engine troubles I am looking forward for a company to get my original rims (Dunlop stamped) repaired.

Cost-wise I would exprct to be on par with a new set, but I prefer to keep it as it came in 1966.

Any recommendations ? Of course freight would be an issue, but I'd love to get an idea.

I want them to use stainless chromed spokes, i can dismantle them myself, and polish / rechrome the outer rims myself.
