slice Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi Bill, First it's nice if you say "HI" in the new members section you get more feedback if folks think your here for a while rather than info and gone..! You haven't filled in your profile so if I suggest somewhere in Scunthorpe and you live in America it's not a lot of use is it? If you just want opinions then go on Google. Just sayin..! PS you can use any flag for your profile, some have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually googled it to death, and come up with nothing......I LOVE stainless steel wheels.......chrome is so vulnerable on wheels....I don't actually think stainless can be achieved with a Dragstar......great pity......

Moderator Cynic Posted May 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 13, 2017 Anything can be done, just depends if you want to put in the time or more importantly the money. I'm doing a wheel change and bracing myself for what the spacers will cost me, with luck beer money from a firm over the road from our yard, it could be a ker ching moment too with the cost of labour and material these days. Their not cheap and have an epic lead time measured in months which may well be a good indicator of work quality but central wheels will do most anything you want, for a price. Ring em though, the web site just takes you though the standard waffle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBryant Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have given in, and bought a new chrome rim and done with......I just couldn't find a stainless one for love or money...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Yeah as above Bill, they aren't standard so you have to have them made, usually a couple of months lead time on stuff like this and payment up front. You can buy anything for your car and even parts for lawn mowers are available but bikes NAH..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
