LOT OF DIFF between them... beside the ratio I THINK CHEAP ONE ( GRANT ) IS NOT THE SAME DEEP THAN THE ORIGINAL and of course the accurate repro ( or at least was in that way on earlierrs products by Grant ). Beside that, the simulated seam all around on inner edge and spokes, is REALLY GREAT on the expensive one and unexistant on the cheap one.
I saw both at Carlisle and althought I was convinced on get the expensive one by the pics when I am ready, MY CHOICE was CONFIRMED once I looked at personally both.

I put a Grant re-pop on my Warlock to replace the dog-chewed original. At a glance it looks correct but it is slightly larger maybe 1/2" in diameter and the grip is not really soft foam but fairly tough but flexable.
I bought a Tuff-Wheel from Year One for my 71 Cuda project and it seemed very acurate, it was expensive and had no discounts either. Really nice reproduction though...

I got mine from a boneyard, $25. Perfect condition. Was on a later Valiant and i didnt have the tools with me to get it off, so he gave me the whole column.  I have used the Grant ones, there a tad bigger bit nice for the price.

the $180 looks like a black horn button and the $89 looks to have the white ring. which one is correct?

is not white ring, is silver paint in the grove. the correct finish is the silver paint, but thats a piece of cake to make by yourself
