The reproed Kidneys are not complete to my knowledge, but the molds are being made from original wheels. For me, I don't really care if they are mag or not.

If PS had their one piece Kidneys available in more that 6.5" I would buy them in a second. However, I can only get the right sizes in the 2 piece variety from them. I am just not comfortable running the 2 piece welded Kidney Bean wheels after extensive discussions with many vintage racers. Further, the 2 piece Kidneys look different than the original wheels - they look like two separate pieces (rim and center).

On another note - I have FIA/Comp 427 Competion Girling style brakes; original Kidneys do not clear them. The backsides are being machined to clear the big girling brakes since most vintage racers are using the Comp brakes.
