John.......Here's a pic of their Rosewood Wheel that I bought two years ago.......Don't know if it's the same one or an earlier version.......overall pretty good....But.....It's a plastic Molded wheel and from 5 feet you can't tell the difference except that it has a little more "Gloss" than a real wheel........

Ken, it is a newer version the one I am talking about came out within the last month it is supposed to be very close to the original. I might take a ride out this weekend to Parts place to see one. Dan you are correct I wouldnt change the one on the Chevelle its only been there for 28 years.
