Default Split rim galvanizing

A shout out for Duncan galvanizing in Everett MA who coated my pictured split rims. Dropped off last Friday and picked up this a.m. nice job and quick turn around time.

About $490.00 for the 11 rims that fell under to 1000lb limit. The coating came out great, should get my tubes/tires wednesday that will give me time to free up the little pivot rim lock tab thingies

I had blasted them in my cabinet prior to bring them down last friday and they were ready for pick up this past friday, nice quick turnaround.

Did you buy bulk to save a couple of bucks? My recent purchase is a new set of tires from 4wheelonline. I just waiting for it to be shipped so I can replace the shallow tires on my car.

Got the new set of Lesters the other day, waiting for my rubber stem tubes to come in.

Not quite a dozen, the left set of rims are new to me McLarens and the set to the right are my original split rims plus one. Will be re using my original for the 26 and keep the McLarens for a future project.

Tires mounted and ready for the road. These Lesters were very easy to mount to the rims. Doing in the spring sunshine helped
