...I wasn't aware of any PO2 wheels that were made. They did however make a "P02" hubcap.

PO2's are not hard to restore, just take them apart and buff the stainless outer rim and touch up the paint with a air brush. They also have reproduction center caps. I have a set for sale.

I use a bench buffer with a medium grit compound with a cotton polishing wheel and then a fine that is made for stainless steel, it doesn't take much effort to get a nice shine. I use a plastic polish for the emblems and do that by hand. The PO2's that are shown were made up from 3 sets that I had so there is no road rash at all on any of them. Hope this helps.

Two years ago at Carlisle I saw two sets of P02's for sale..one was a NOS set for $1800. The second set was a restored set for $800.
You have to do some hard thinking before parting with that kind of dollars. For a high dollar Corvette restoration that kind of money may be a pittance to complete the car, but outside of that, it's an expensive luxury...at least in my opinion.
I say that owning a '69 with P02's on it. I found an excellent set as spares on Ebay maybe five years ago for less than $100. I guess either I was simply lucky or the value of them didn't skyrocket yet.
