The last ones I got from Marsh they were able to put the moon tabs on!

Anyone out there know where I can buy a couple 16x5 steel wheels without spending the moon for them?

I don't know why making something as simple as a wheel causes so much delay in a build, but I've never heard anybody say, "I ordered my wheels and they arrived when they said they would".

I hope your timeline isn't August.  If it isn't I'll give a lukewarm recommendation to Diamond Wheels here in Milwaukee.  Nice enough folks, but S L O W ,     S L O W ,     S L O W , and I needed to throw a lot of lead on them to get them to balance.

But they are round, and they look fantastic.

Well, I guess we're making a LOT of progress . . .  :roll:

Stockton made my 18's last September in two weeks. They are new owners. I had to be very specific on what I wanted. I don't think the new guys have done a lot of racing stuff but they did a nice job and got them done in time
