Quality (vs D&D) is not surprising based on my prior experience. At least that has remained consistent.

I'm waiting on a ping back from Kris, as well.

I stumbled on Koch's last evening. While they list a mold for my '68 Caddy (which sorely needs a wheel respin), they don't list one for my '56 or my '63 Pontiacs, so for me, at least, they may not be useful. Looks like they do have molds for yours, though. It will be interesting to hear how you make out with them.

I also checked out Gary's last night. He seems to restore rather than respin.

Another one to throw into the hat is apparently W W Motor Cars & Parts, Inc:

https://wwmotorcars.com

It seems as though they have (or used to have) a division of their restoration shop dedicated to wheels, and were even featured in Cars & Parts magazine some years back. They are in Broadway, VA. Phone: 540-896-8243

I was not familiar with JB Donaldson. For those stopping by to read this thread:

(The site's cert is mismatched, so in case your browser chokes, use http:// instead of https. Also, whoever sold them on that excessively long domain name should be shot at dawn, but I digress - and my IT profession is showing, so I'll put it away.)
