Ok we all know about Linsey wheels. And there are a few others. But anyone know of a source for wheel parts?
I'm looking for a source for a custom shop that can cut long paddle Fuch centers for 18" barrels. I know you can cut centers from 16" wheels and bolt them to barrel halves, but I think the paddles look short. They're ok, but I think they would look better longer. Then Where can you purchase barrels? The one piece kind. |

linsey and the others (HRE??) use 16" centers with BBS 3 piece barrels in 17" sizes.... im not sure there is ebough girth on a 16" center to slam it in an 18" barrel.. why not go with 17's over 18's? |
