Very cool! I don't know why those wire wheels aren't manufactured anymore? Cragar used to make one too. GLWS!
Thanks! From what I've gathered from conversations is there's a couple different reasons, aside from a lack of demand. The company has been bought and sold a few different times. The jigs that were used to make a 4 lug were discarded at some point after the company was sold. Of any four lugs that could be made today (Dayton, or Zeus) have NOS barrels. I was rapping with TruSpoke when they re-released the 30 lace star wire a handfull of years ago, and they said there were manufacturing problems that were in conflict with chroming. They said that they weren't going to continue manufacturing due to a lack of interest, however that was in the middle of the recession. Since then interest has skyrocketed, and prices have proportionally exploded.
