Richard,

  I know the NOS ones for your car usually go for around $800 a set on E-Bay, WHEN they appear. What are the re-pop's going for, and who is selling them?

Holy Cow!!

  They are giving them away at that price!! I wish the picture was clearer, because I would love to know if the paint job is true. What I mean is, you should be able to see a bit of aluminum around the headlight openings.

I thinking about this....
I have a set of NOS bezels in the original boxes. I'll sell those on E-Bay buy a pair of the re-pops and be up 300 bucks to put towards something else on the car. I about 18 months before they would go on.

I like the way you think, but still, I'm not sure anyone of us has input of the fitting of the re-pops.  :dunno: They do look good though.  :thumbsup:

Not yet my brother. But I have faith that somebody will pony up and let me know about the fit.

You know what is in those boxes. Until I saw with my own eyes what the re-pops look like, I would hold on to them originals.  :2cents:

Purple1,
Are those 71s you picture that came from TuffWheel repops or are they reconditioned? I didn't think anyone was making new 71s?

Sorry if this double posts, I tried earlier and my post seemed to vanish.

They are reconditioned bezels. I was only commenting about Tuff Wheel Restorations. They seem like a very good company to deal with and the work is top notch.
