hey guys
i've picked up a set (4) of fia wheel centers and am having problems finding a set of wheels to mount them to. the backspacing on the rear set presents more of a problem. can anyone offer some suggestions on what and where to look.
thanks,
paul

hey guys
i found out that centerline wheels were used. they are from the 80's and have the numbers 65703547 and 65103547. anyone have a set of 4 that they want to sell. or know of where i could find some.
thanks,
paul

Paul, you might try TCC member Craig Bachmeyer. I don't have his number handy but if you e-mail Blake Olson I'm sure he can put you in touch. Craig bought my ERA a few months ago and is pretty much re-doing it stem to stern. I'm not sure but it wouldn't surprise me if he has decided to replace my ERA insert wheels with some Trigos or something along those lines, in which case you might be able to work a deal with him for the old wheels.

Failing that you might try Bob P. at ERA to see if they have any around or know of anyone who does, since the inserts were used on ERAs for years--

Best,
Bob

hey bob
i tried bob at era and they no longer make the inserts as the centerline wheel that was used is no longer available. my wheel guy here in corpus is on vacation so i haven't been able to find anything on my own. i'll email blake and see if he can help. thanks for the reply.

hey guys
a friend told me that there is a place in san antonio that will make any wheel to your specs. i'm in the process of trying to locate the company. i'll update with results. everyone have a great weekend.
