Yes, Fred there are several people here in Estonia alone who make moldings and restore ZIS and other Soviet car wheels and
plastic knobs etc, its not cheap to buy them but they are in the same prize range as the parts manufactured to other US cars that have Ivory wheels etc.
The qualety has been so far, how to say: really impressive.

But it was not always like that, 4 years ago there was a real shortage of Ivory items here that where good preserved I also had several things I sold later. But then some enthusiastic people took the matter in there own hands and started experimenting and new the problems are solved. You can get replicaided wheels if you have the money to buy them. Its not just a bisness matter but, lets take the time, effort,moldings and materials+ all the other things that come whit the making of one Wheel. Thats the thing that some poeple to not understand if they see the prize tag.
