    Greetings,
    I wonder if someone could turn me on to a shop that does reverse wheels. I have looked hi and low for something on the internet but all are custom alloy and big bucks.
    I thought there would be a local shop here but no luck. A web address would be great.
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    Rick:)

    Don't know about cost, but these guys

    have been doing wheels since 1883, so they must be doing something right.

    Thanks Bill, I e-mailed them and it looks like we have a winner. Don't have a cost yet and California is far from Texas but you gotta go where you can get it.
    You can always count on help here, thanks again.
    Rick :)

    If Dallas is closer you might try Southwest Wheel. They used to sell rims only, many widths, and centers only in many bolt patterns. You could buy a rim and they would install the center per your request. With the dominance of the alloy wheels I don't know if they still offer this service but would be worth a call maybe.

    Rick & Evan:
    I'm in Klein, about 25 miles north of Houston. Where are you?

    If you are interested, there is a Saturday night show in the Kroger's parking lot at the corner of Spring-Cypress Road and Champion Forest Drive. Gets underway most Saturdays about 7PM, peaks around 9 and is mostly gone by 10. Majority of the cars are 60s and 70s muscle cars, with a sprinkling of rods, old trucks, 50's cars, etc. Real good lighting. I show up every 3-4 weeks. In the last month or two attendance has risen from 40-50 cars to 150+ last weekend.

    Greetings, And thanks Evan and Bill for the info. I am down in the Valley just North of Brownsville. So just about anywhere is far from me. :(
    Stockton seemed a fair deal so we went with them, but will keep the
    other sources on file.
    I do appreciate the help and thank CD for being such a good host.
    Rick
