Default polished knock off availability

I was looking at another thread where the subject of the thread was putting 63-64 knock offs on a 62. I remember seeing a supplier that was offering the 63-4 knock offs polished. It Made for a different, but I thought, nice look. Does anyone know who markets these? Thanks

Thanks, but the wheels I saw appeared to me anyway, to be the 63-4 knockoffs that were bright polished, or maybe chrome plated, IDK Thanks for looking.

Default polished and chromed K-O wheels

I seem to remember a few years ago a supplier was offering a chromed K-O wheel. I tried looking for the supplier but had no luck.

Just to let you know what I did for my '65 coupe - bought a set of used Western K-O wheels and then had them refinished to my specs.
First, had them painted inside of turbines then polished the the rims to a high gloss shine and finally had the centers show chromed.

Total cost including buying them and having them finished was about $2300.00. Here's a few pics of the finished product:

Zip used to have the chrome bolt-ons for 63-66 but not sure if they still do.
