Agree, He just did a ’54 Ford Deluxe 4 spoke wheel for me. Had the horn ring repaired and re-chromed and recast the wheel and it looks like new money on the day it was made. Excellent work but does take his time. Hard pressed finding someone to do a better job. There are others that can do patch work if it’s not real bad for a lot less money.

I've looked long and hard to find good wheels or someone restoring them. I finally settled on Don Eash of D&D Automobilia in PA. I've had him recast the wheel for my '65 LeBaron, and '55 and '59 DeSotos. Given all the $$ thrown at C300 and 300 B restos, I'm surprised that nobody has done these wheels. I've sent him a wheel from my '55 Crown which needs only minor crack patching to make it a good pattern for a mold. Someone else has also sent him a wheel for a mold. By spring he should have a mold done. He's not cheap, count on $1200-1500, but I've found nothing better. And the difference between a cracked, faded, chipped wheel and one that's smooth and beautiful to hold in your hands is well worth it. You'll find his ad in Hemmings.
