I didn't paint. I didn't powder.

AFAIK, Mobelwagon is the company that makes all these alloys, I think Greg probably bought a container load and got an exclusive, for a while. Lots of people sell them now, but Greg is still the cheapest.

AFAIK, he’s got both Wide 5 and 4X130 in plain or polished finish.

I really, really wish the 5 1/2" ones had the offset I need.

A fella that was pretty handy with cad-cam with access to a CNC machine could make some dandy Rudge knock-off wheel centers for those wheels.

Other than with the wide 5's, I'm used to seeing a round center hole for bearing cap clearance.  These don't have that - does that mean a special adapter is needed to mount and balance the tires?

The closest to home tire store could not balance the tires. They had a balance machine that spun the wheel vertically and did not have the adapter to do the job. The 2nd store I tried had no problem. Their machine spun horizontally and centered with a cone shaped fitting.

I'll know pretty soon if they're balanced or not...fingers crossed

I had my Speedster wheels (Fuchs 5-spoke with 205/16 tires) balanced at three different places in two different states and they always vibrated after they were balanced.

Then, I got on the Hunter site and looked for a “Road Force” wheel balancer near me and found one where I bought my daily driver.  Drove over there with Pearl and asked simply, “Does your tech know what the hell he is doing with your Road Force Balancer or should I just go somewhere else?”

They told me he was really good so I trusted him.   DAMN!  Best wheel balancing I’ve ever bought!  It was like a whole different car!  Went back the next day and gave the shop a case of beer.

When I swapped my rims for Greg's 4 bolt 10 hole rims I wanted the weights on the inside. I was told by the guy that put the tires on the rims to find a place with a Road Force machine. I did. And I agree it was the best tire balancing ever done.

I ran into the same thing with my Alfa. Two different tires stores had me going to an alignment shop to try and suss out a vibration 80mph<.  The alignment shop suggested a road force balancer and I told them I wanted them balanced to 120 mph. Problem solved.

Lately Discount seems to do a pretty good job with my 968, but I rarely get it up past 100 any more.
