That sucks, i know Covid put a hurt on them and Owner passed a few years ago. I got some wheels from them almost 2 years ago, they said they couldnt get anything chromed.... Tried to get the wheels from Wheel Vintiques and waited 6 months and they couldnt build my wheels.. Guess the OP needs to search the net, am sure guys are out there just have to find them.

I have communicated with James at Weldcraft about options/pricing a couple times, but have not used their services yet. His communication and customer service has been very good. Hope that helps.
