Sims Wheels Reissues/Tributes

Brand X is offering a limited release of 2 Sims wheels poured in the original molds with updated modern urethane formulas. The Sims Snakes are limited to 100 sets in each color, while the Comp IIs are limited to 25 sets per color. They are being billed as a Tom Sims Tribute, in premium urethane made 100% in California. These are perfect for any historical reenactors out there riding the various old school reissues but they come with an insanely high price of $200 and $250 respectively. I don’t know the economics of hand pouring urethane these days, but it seems highly inflated. Maybe it’s due to licensing fees, who knows. A quick check on Ebay at publication time shows you can get some originals in pretty good shape for about the same price.
