Hey Frank! Long time, no see. Here are my observations regarding rimblow wheels.

1. The new repops are probablythe quality of original but don't look correct, especially with the plating of the spokes which is apparently the hardest look to reproduce. It's that "milky" look.

2. For dead-on authenticity, I haven't seen a restoration that exactly replicates concourse NOS original.

3. Restorations are going to be way better looking than original and will last much longer.

4. Restorations take tons of hours and expensive materials to get done right. They are expensive and worth it.

Doug Lepak did the resto my rimblow. I gave it to Doug because I wanted an over-the-top custom centerpiece for my interior. Doug came through in spades. One of his wheels will set you back 2-3 times what that reproduction wheel costs, but that's what you pay if you want that OMG!!! factor.







Do you still own that Convertabee? I've posted pictures of it on the 70 b body Facebook group. Your car has some huge fans.
