Anyone have good luck with a set of reproduction wheels out there for accuracy besides Paradise Wheels?
My originals are rusted.
Craig at Paradise can't get chrome rims right now so they've been back ordered for months. I know the Scott Drake aluminum ones are no option.

I'm sticking with my rusty, original 69 shelby rims for my convertible.  If the glue hasn't failed by now, I doubt that it will. The correct repros are too expensive, and the china repros aren't an option.  Plus, the patina of the missing chrome makes people reconsider when I hear them say "it must be a clone" at the car cruises.

Does Coker build their own or buy from Paradise?

I called Branda and they get theirs from Paradise meaning they don't have anything at this time.

I understand that the Lengendary brand wheels are more of a look-a-like than a true reproduction since they are a one piece aluminum design, but what other quality concerns did you have with them?
