the price on the forum was supposed to be $96. $115 is only for ebay. I'm waiting for the skinny version and a new pricing. I was told the extra cost from the second milling job would be a penny.

Something else you guys might want to consider is a one-piece version of these in some form of plastic with 2.2" on front and back. I'd think these would be popular with vintage racers for actual track use. You could have a durable lightweight wheel - with the proper offsets - yet still have that vintage feel. Perhaps the one-piece design and less expensive material would bring the cost down as well. Just a thought…
after I weighed the wheels, I'm considering the one-piece version, very seriously :idea:
thanks Paul
