I know this because we had 17" Boyds on my wife's vintage T-Bird. Last year she was a hit & run victim. Damage was pretty minor, but the right-front rim took a direct hit. We tracked down the place in Riverside County, and they were able to re-hoop the wheel good as new. Obviously, their inventory (and thus, their ability to replace or repair) is limited. Maybe you can use this as a bargaining chip if you are considering buying these wheels.

Here's the official wheels website - and based on the number of "Under Construction" links and the sketchy details on the site, I would aver that you are absolutely correct.

And this is his official site - last updated in 2003

Click the link for Boyd's Wheels and note the address/tel# listed. That is identical to the info in the owner's pamphlet that we got when we purchased our wheels. Stanton is about 20 minutes away from here. Calling the number listed results in a "We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected..." message. A call to the shop where we bought them (HW Motorsports in Garden Grove) confirmed that they were gonzo. They steered me to the place in Riverside County.
