no bloody wheels

Post by yeprat1 »

guys im just finding out how hard it is to find wheels for fb's these days the only manufacturers that make wheels to fit cost upward of $600 a wheel and that is just ridiculous i thought i would get some weld wheels seeing that they are only about $300 a wheel but even those only come in hq stud pattern now. so is it possible to interchange the axles on a standard banjo with anything else without costing a fortune. or even a wheel maker that can make steel rims in a 15 complete without me suppling the centers

why not go to HQ or Commodore stud pattern, and with it you'll get better brakes aswell ?
