I used the Rim blow buddy and they did a crap job.  I wish I lived closer to AZ as I would  pay them a visit.     Paid top $ to get wheel done and switch installed.   received wheel back and it was a while before I installed on car as I was doing a lot of other work.   Once installed only 3" of the wheel honked.  Called them and they told me sorry wheel only has a 30 day warranty from repair.  Then the horn started coming on by itself in the middle of the night.  Had to unplug the horn relay to get it to stop.

Mine came on by itself when the car was still under warranty. Stuff happens.

Get ahold of Dave Tays, at Woodgrainwheels.com, 1-812-593-4328. Dave has done 2 70 wheels for me and I am quite pleased. But here is the kicker, when I had the first wheel done, I had a NOS rim blow switch which he installed. But since he never had a good one to go by he used mine as a template and now has some in stock and is a great fit and works. The only difference is the rubber is smooth rather than have a rib on it. I was good with that.
Good luck
