I just ordered a set of four spoke Revolutions for my GT6.  The owner, =
Warren, is very good to deal with, but I should say they are swamped =
with business, and it took quite a bit of persistence to get an order =
going - phone calls, as emails tended to go un-responded to for at least =
a week or two.  I would say lead time, including correspondence, pricing =
and machining is at best 5-6 weeks, and that assumes they have the right =
wheel =E2=80=9Cblank=E2=80=9D in stock that they can drill for your bolt =
pattern and machine the backspace as needed.  This is not a criticism of =
the company - it=E2=80=99s like everything else right now - they had =
limited business for nine months, now everything is going gangbusters, =
supplies are difficult and they can=E2=80=99t hire enough qualified =
people - this is what he told me. =20

However, price is very fair (my 13x6 wheels were only $136 each, plus =
$100 for shipping for all four), and the race wheels have steel inserts =
for the lug nut bearing surface, and come with lug nuts.  The exchange =
rate is in our favor right now!

Afternoon: I'm searching for racing wheels for my TR8 racer. I had an =
order in with Keizer and unfortunately they had a bad fire this month =

I'm looking for 15"  x 9" with 4 x 4.5" bolt pattern. Likely 3 piece =
because of offset.
Any preferences or good resources in the group?

Thanks!
