I have a mint '63 I just bought....sure would like to get a set of original looking mags (Halibrand or whatever) that would be correct to the period. Not chrome.....

Talk to Jon Myers of Myers Studebaker. They've contacted with Halibrand who will make a new run of that wheel...if a minimum number of wheels is ordered to make it worthwhile. I asked once and the cost is not cheap...something like $2400 per set. I don't think they have the minimum orders needed yet so if that interests you it's an option.

When the economy picks up, I'll get a set of them. They are very nice looking; surprised someone hasn't done a copy of them by now.
