Correct, it is M&A Castings. Ted Wayman is the person at M&A with whom I have been speaking. You may be right about the price as I have only gone so far as getting a quote to make the castings/molds for a 15 X 7 1/2" wheel and a 15 X 9 1/2" wheel. I have not closed the loop on nailing down a price to make each wheel after that. I just have not had time to follow up with Ted. Of course price depends on volume. It would not make sense to have only one set made. At 20 sets, it might be reasonable.

Some folks have spared no expense in building their cars. The quality of available wheels (heavy and glossy gray painted centers) seems to be one area that is lacking when trying to build an accurate replica/reproduction or whatever you want to call it. If people are willing to spend $1,000 for a set of tires that wear out, maybe they'd be willing to spend significantly more than $1,500 for a set of more authentic looking and lighter weight wheels. Personally, if they were $3,000 or so for a set of four, I would buy a set. If they were significantly more than that, I would have a tough time justifying the cost.

I have asked Ted to take a look at this thread so that he can better see our interest and concerns.
