Tuff Wheel Question

Has anyone purchased a Tuff Wheel from Herb's Parts? Are they any good? I need a new wheel without having to sell one of my kids to get it and Herb seems affordable. Any thoughts on what he has to offer?

Thanks

I got the tuff wheel from Cuda Dales Shop... mostly sure is the same repro part... is an AMAZING reproduction. Allmost exact to original... only slightly diff on spokes cut outs location, a little bit off, but just noticeable overlaping original over repro.

another difference with originals is maybe the inner seam simulation edges are sharper ( squared ) than originals, but not a big deal.

the diff is that I got on a sale they got on a "SECONDS" TUFF WHEEL STOCK They had, being sold because some blemishes... in auctions with $80 starting price ( what I paid )... I still can't find the blemish on the one I have.

Dales here as well.  Blem, although I can't find it on mine either.

I wish all blemished products were like that!    :icon_smile_big:

Bob that interior looks absolutely stunning.   :2thumbs:

Here is an original Tuff Wheel that I recently sold on the bay.  Maybe it'll hep with comparison... Not sure what model it came off of but it came with all the parts when I bought my 69 Charger.

I also picked up one of the blemished Tuff repro wheels from Dale's Cuda Shop, it's the one on the left. I'm very happy with it, nice repro.

I think there is visible the spoke cut out offset between original and repro
