Quality Restorations did my Crestliner Wheel. Excellent quality, not cheap.

I am looking too. I'd be interested in the range or prices knowing that it depends on the condition - just looking for a ball park figure.

I had the same experience a CJ Meyers, sent my 1936 Banjo to Dennis at Quality Restorations. Expensive but definitely worth it - excellent results.

I used a wheel from Vintique and custom painted the hub only for this job. The black finish was very nice out of the box.

19Fordy, the diameter of the stock Vintique wheel is 17" just like the original. They do make a smaller one for street rods also.Dollar for dollar I would prefer a nice repo wheel over a repaired original any day.

Re: Need 40 steering wheel restored - who??
I have a Vintique 40 wheel on my F1. Looked nice until last winter when the outer ring cracked in the middle and a gap appeared. Now that it is cracked I can see that the inner metal ring is separated from the outer plastic or the plastic shrunk away from the metal. So the plastic ring moves and is annoying when going around a corner and my hand gets scratched when it finds the edge of the plastic at the gap. To fix it the inner metal ring needs to be secured to the outer plastic before filling the gap. Ugh
