7oCall440, the original wheel was too large for me and always made a black mark on my shorts getting in the car so I changed out tio a 14" 1/2 aluminum that looks close to the stock in style.
The horm looks much better in person than the pics and this one has the fish emblem.  I will be offering them like this or 'CUDA or Challenger fonts at first.
The price will be no more than the repro plastic version in satin finisht.  They should be available within 4-6 weeks.

Cheers!

Thanks for the interest.

HP_Cuda,
No, if you want the fish there has to be two small holes drilled to mount it.

Thanks guys for all the kind comments. I believe this is a very nice looking piece that offers an alternative to what's out there now.

I'll let you know when the first run comes in and the price.  As soon as I get my computer back (any day now) I'll post some better pics.

Cheers!

This is music to my ears!!!

Last question, how does the three bolts attach to it. Can I get a pic of how it attaches to the wheel?

Since PG Classics is having a 20% off sale I might just go for a new Tuff Wheel.

I will let the cat out of the bag. My thought was to take the cap and dip it for a carbon fiber look then attach the fish.

Maybe with something like this:

That's a hydro-dip, not super durable but for a horn button or something it would work.

Sorry for the tardiness in replying, just returning from a car show.
I'll pull the horn button off and take some pics. My computer was here when I returned but have to get it set up. Plan on doing all this tomorrow.
The horn is three separate pieces. The center section actually bolts to the base using three stainless button head bolts. So you are free to paint, powder oat, anodize or whatever to customize to you liking.
Stand by for photos.
Cheers!
