Luis,
I bought a set of four of these which came off of a show car from Canada. They're not delivered yet but I'm guessing they might be Canadian with a maple leaf on them. Not sure until I get them. Few if any road miles on them. Just in and out of the trailer for major shows. I bought them for the mags so I'll be selling the tires.

It's a matter of personal preference. Some people hate them but I like them. They're extremely hard to find with good chrome. Re-chroming is cost prohibitive with the aluminum centers and you have to worry about them being put back together concentrically. Soooo, perfect originals command a premium. I've known about these for over 15 years and I finally stepped up. He had them stored in his bedroom closet for over 20 years, fresh off the show car.

Sam, They might replace some on my '62 that have some chrome issues, or they could go on the other 409 car that's waiting to resurface. Not sure yet. I just knew I HAD to have them.
