Wheels
I'm pretty sure cost might keep me from doing so but if a guy wanted to have a set of wheels cut and made, where would a guy go or who would he call to talk to someone about having a set made up for himself?
I want a set of wheels that looks like or closely resembles the old style Craigers of days gone by that was so famous on almost all your old muscle cars, again, of the old days gone by...............
I have looked and looked for a set of wheels for 2 years now but nothing has ever really jumped out at me and said "ME"!!!

RC Nitro is the closest looking to a chrome Cragar that I can think of. I can get you dsicounted forum pricing on them too.
As far as having a replica made, I am sure you could find someone to do it but I am sure it will cost more than you can get an aftermarket bolt on wheel for as well. You have to buy wheel blanks, get someone to program the design, get it polished, get it chromed, buy hubs, get tires get tires mounted get bearings etc.
I am sure there are guys who offer this type of service but check out this RC Nitro, pretty close.

Price will defiantly keep you away. I'm guessing upwards of $8-10,000+ for a set. No only will materials be around a $1000 per wheel you've got to pay the man for programming which is the expensive and time consuming part, then on to machine time and set up... given he doesn't have to buy more bits at $100+ a pop and your wheel may use 5-6 different bits due to shape. And that's if he doesn't run into trouble on his $250,000+ machine....
