Like I said above, Speedway's "Lincoln" drums are made to look much like the Boling Bros (BB) drums, are substantially cheaper, and have had MANY complaints of being out-of-round, as well as out of balance....BUY the REAL Boling Bros drums (also known as "MT CAR Products"). Out-of-round can also cause only partial shoe surface contact.
