Original factory center caps...can these be restored to perfection? If so, who can do them? Post before/after photos of others you have done.

Jeff,
The pick used with a dolly as Rich mentions will shrink the metal first. Once that is accomplished you may be able to flatten it with a press brake or hydraulic press with some sort of flattening die. Once they are flat you may have to do some surface finishing and blending. I wouldn't throw those out. |
