    It has been a while since I have need on here but I did make a mold and have cast the horn button and outer rim. I posted pictures about a year ago or so.



    I did 2 wheels that I think turned out nice and others think so also. The problem is the price. It is a lot of work to get it right and not everyone is willing to pay what it is worth to do it.



    The other issue I have just noticed is that the plastic is starting to crack a little. Stress cracks I think, one wheel is fine the one on the car has some fine cracks. My guess is the plastic may not be a flexable enough or there is an issue with heat expansion. Not sure what can be done about that.



    Well I did not answer the question directly but, yes someone did someting with a 37 wheel.
