    Knock off wheel restoration

    If I understand correctly, David Cosner is no longer in the wheel restoration business. If this is correct, who is now the preferred restorer of Corvette original KO and bolt on wheels?

    Thanks for your help.

    I can't confirm he is the "preferred"...

    ...but, I believe Dennis Portka has been doing this for quite some time...

      Rex...You Need to Contact Bill Wilhelm...

      He's an NCRS member who lives in New Mexico and does excellent work on these wheels at a very fair price...He has a member profile here on the NCRS website and you can drop him an email about your wheels. Bill is a super honest guy and your wheels will be in good hands. If nothing else it will allow you to get a competitive bid for the restoration vs. the others you've already mentioned...

      Bill did my '65 knock-offs and they went through Top Flight judging and BG certification with no issues/deductions...

      Hope this helps...Good Luck with your Wheels...

        If memory serves...

        Dennis Portka got out of the KO restoration business +5 years ago, Dennis. One conversation I had with him indicated he wasn't making money since each job seemed to involve unique considerations that he couldn't accommodate via a fixed-price system and there was a limit to what folks would pay....
