Is there currently anyone making correct appearing 450 look-a-like rims ?

@76orangewagon  Where did you get yours, are they still available and how much $$$ ?

Two places that I have heard.  Stockton Wheel and Dr. Diff.  My buddy got some from Dr. Diff and he clones the 450 wheel from used OEM components.

@ScottSmith_Harms  is a 450 expert too.  He might know someone making good reproductions.   :fingerscrossed:

I got mine from Cass @ Dr. Diff and had them sent to Rick @ RestoRick to have all the correct date stamping added. Price was  $1300 for the set of 4. Stamping was $180 that included adding the pentastar, 2944450 part number and adjusting the wheel date code.

Thanks for the info.....I heard back from Cass already, he's currently out of the centers :bye:

I'm not in a terrible rush....I might need two sets but only if my customer's want to step up to the plate :bigmoney:

Also, FWIW, while the ones Cass sells are absolutely the best available anywhere, there is one detail that distinguishes them as reproductions, only visible from the back side but it's a giveaway if you know what to look for.

Sooo, I think I may have bought those rims for you!

Well ...sort of, but not really. I bought them about a month before selling the Rallye wheels and used the boxes they came in to send yours out.
