For all you guys using a lead hammer.....I'm glad it works for you. The point is that the wood puts distance between a hammer and the spinner, thats all. You can beat the sh** out of them with a jack hammer if you want. I'm just trying to provide info to those looking for an option.

I didn't know you could pound on the wheels with a lead hammer and not cause any damage. How about the body?

Convincor.....As a matter of fact, it WAS Vintage Wheels that suggested the oak over the lead hammer for the reason I quoted. Looks like they screwed you out of $30+shipping and handling!
