Yes. https://store.cobranda.com/rcapl.html (https://store.cobranda.com/rcapl.html)

I'm sure other sources have it too.

Former Shelby employee, Jere Kirkpatrick was making them for the OVC cars. He shows how he makes them on his Youtube channel.

Jim Murietta (Original Venice Crew) has the original Shelby employee making repros for the continuation R Models. The first ones were not the perfect spun aluminum ones offered today.
He also recently bought the original tooling and jigs for the R Model side windows.

Repop - spun on a mandrel no welded seam. I used to watch a guy at Dean Moon's shop spin hubcaps.
