Try Bassett Wheel at 888.888.7199 Ask for Steve. Basset is the only US manufacturer who fabricates ALL of the wheel compontents and they plan on getting into LSR.

LOL Anyone that complains about Stockton wheels being slow has never dealt with Taylormade wheels.


Doug,
I need to clean my keyboard as I just spit coffee all over it from laughing.

It has been awhile now but I sent a bent wheel to Stockton to be straightened. The guy I talked to said it would take two days once they got it. Well it took four days, big deal. Got my wheel back and it was perfect. They saved me over $100, and at least a 6 month to a year wait to have a wheel made by the original manufacturer.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.

In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230

Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

Stockton Wheel made some wheels for my 53 Stude a couple of years ago and I was very pleased with their product.

Called Stockton Friday afternoon and asked about my fronts I had ordered in January.  They ironically said they were getting packaged up and sent out as we spoke.  They build quality wheels and aren't sky high on prices, just gotta stay in touch with them it seems.

Sparky, I'm not pickin on them. I'm just stating facts. They make great wheels and the price is not bad. The only problem is they make them at their pace. Their main business is NOT LSR wheels so you get them when they are done making them. Talking to Capt. Billy at Bonneville he said that is why Cook Motorsports had started making LSR wheels.

I'm in the middle of a disaster with Stockton Wheel right now. I sent them some 18's to narrow up, back in early december & 13 weeks later I have 4 rims that are so far out of wack they are unusable. We are still communicating but I don't like my chances of ending up with 4 round wheels. The worst one is .140" up & down & .160" sideways. The best one is .070".  I'm having a little trouble understanding how that gets past their quality inspection. You be the judge!
  PS, House, You were right!
