Reproduction '65 Wheel Covers

[Clark K.]

I have grown tired of my car's reproduction KO wheels taking a 28 point hit at Flight judging meets. So, I am in the market for some reproduction steel wheels and wheel covers for my 1965 Coupe. Has anyone had any experience with what originality deductions, if any, you can expect with the wheel covers sold by Long Island Corvette?

Clark...if I recall correctly the reproduction covers were being produced by Corvette Specialties of MD...and I think Brian has moved to the west coast now...and if I recall correctly, they were pretty much as good as the orginals...I recall seeing posts when they first came out that they were right on the money...but someone who has been judging more recently that I have might chime in and offer a later opinion

I've had my 65 with repo covers judged twice and only lost points on the color of the painted part. After the first judging repainted with paint I used in the past and still lost points on color.
