    Here is a picture of Rico's Reproduction wheel. mine on the car was "restored" and done darker by someone else. his is below. done in the original color and steam bent like original. I doubt anyone can match the craftsmanship required to do this here in the US. [​IMG]

    I sent my wheel to Automotive Specialties in Florida.

    1-800-676-1928 They have done lots of these and did a terrific job on mine Price is good too.

    rcgt350,

    Automotive Spec.: I found the phone number 1-800-676-1928 to be in South Carolina. Is that correct?

    Same people. I had them do one for me and it looks like brand new. Call them, you won't be sorry.

    I think the guy from automotive specialties died. I tried to get in touch with them awhile back and no luck.

    I had my '67 wheel restored by Lempert Wheels.I believe his name was Mike Lempert and he is from Charlston,S.C. .He did an excellent job and was very reasonably priced.
