+1 for Zephyrwerks recommended by wholybee.

They're in Port Townsend, WA. The man's name is Ed Louchard and he does great work, quickly, at a very reasonable cost. Phone: 360 385-2720

There has been some discussion of replacing the mast sheaves on a Lagoon 450 here on the Forum (see here). The OP of that discussion posted a PDF of sheave sizes (see Comment #18) which seems to indicate that the masthead sheaves on a Lagoon 450 are a bit over 4-1/4" in diameter (108.5 mm). So, either of the above sources of sheaves would be able to make yours (Note: Don Green is limited to sheaves ≤6" dia.). Both Don and Ed make sheaves out of black acetal; Ed can also make them out of anodized aluminum.

If that contact doesn't work out I can recommend Ballenger Spars. They made some sheaves for me and they were excellent to work with:
