Yo, what's up..

I'm doing a commission build, that I'll ultimately start an individual thread on because it is pretty cool, but I've found myself in need of either these exact style of wire wheelcovers, or something that is pretty dang close :

They are 1986-92 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham rear wheel drive wheelcovers..

SO, is there anyone that casts these in resin?

Or more likely, can 3D print them?

I've done a bit of searching and haven't come up with too much..

Diolex in Ukraine casts some they sell on eBay.  I have a couple sets to use on '80s Cadillacs.  They advertise them as '73-76 style, but they seem close to the 80s style.

Those are in fact modeled after the '73-'76 wheel covers.  The ones used in the '80s (like pictured by Earl, and like the ones I have on my 1:1 '85 Eldorado) are different, but as you mentioned, these are probably the closest one you can find.

Yeah, all I can think of..the Johan '77-79 promos had non-wire style wheel covers IIRC.

The JoHan 1977 through 1979 Cadillacs came with exactly those wire wheel covers.  They didn't have Vogue Tyres.  The green car shown above has less than pristine condition wheel covers.
