This has come up before, so you might want to go back and do a search on it.

Hooley and I have gotten wheels from here:

http://www.mrt-wheels.com/

They were fast, priced right and custom built for us.  Hooley's have worked well up to 241 so far and mine look good sitting in plastic bags in the back of the shop  :cry:.

I have a page on my site with information to where I've bought parts during the build of my lakester:

Hope this helps and be sure and post pictures of the new project,
