Anyone have any experience with Highline wheels. They offer several types on Ebay. Thanks. JW

Have you done a search on these guys? They have been discussed several times. The wheels seem to be decently built but are VERY heavy. Also, many guys have noticed that their pricing is ALL over the place.....you will see the same wheel listed for $500 more one week than you see today and then $500 less than you saw another week. As well, they have shipping charges that some have reported as high as close to $300. Way too much. Probably good for a winter wheel. But too heavy for DD or track duty.

Thanks again for your insight, have noticed $ all over the place. I appreciate the comment about the weight. Didn't think about the extra lbs. Thanks. JW

Couldn't agree more. A friend of mine got caught with these guys. He wanted "cheap" wheels for the street and once the auction had ended, he got rip a new one with a 300$ shipping fee.
