These have just been done in Australia they are not IH but the large ones are 14" Wide. They are from a GMC currently being restored in South Australia.

That is pretty cool!! I would imagine that a form/mold is set up around the wheel and then liquid rubber poured into the mold and allowed to cool and harden?

I will double check but 99% sure that these were wrapped using a thin layer or uncured rubber until the correct thickness then the we're cured in an autoclave.
