They are not being re-popped and cost BIG bucks. 

 As far as I know, only the center cap changes as far as what years, and what make of car it was. Here is someone that might be able to help you.  http://www.rimblowsteeringwheels.com/

I think Grant has one. Not really an exact copy, but nice. http://www.grantproducts.com
There was an old post somewhere on this board about it.

That Grant wheel appears to be similar to a rimblo, but the switch for the horn is in the center cap, not the rim. If you want a true rim-blo, you can either buy a core and have it restored, or buy one done. I paid $1200 for the restored wheel in my challenger. I've seen cores go for $150-200 and up,, and the resto cost will depend upon condition of the core.

The rimblow wheel is not being repopped. There is someone that has been working on it for a couple years but I think they're realizing they will not get a return on their investment.

All of them were the same, they were only available on 70-71 models and the only difference was the center cap. The fishcap was for he 70 Cuda and some very early 71 Cudas. The plain cap with hex head bolts was for the 71 Cuda, 71 B-body and 70-71 Darts. The Dodge cap was for the 70-71 Challenger and 70 B-bodies.

Check my site for different styles of center caps. Fishcaps and Dodge caps available in any color you prefer.

I talked to the Grant people at SEMA last year and they said that they would look into repopping the rim blow, but would probably use the center cap for the horn function to make the whole thing more cost effective. If they make them, I plan to buy at least three. We'll see. Their new wood tuff wheel looks nice and I may buy one just to see how it looks on my cuda.
