Jongbloed's here Mike, but it won't be "quick" getting them... Maybe Jim Buckley's?

How quick is quick?

Btw Joe Walsh hijacked your nick name for his new album.

Braids maybe?

I know of Buckley (Keizer), Jongbloed, BBS, and Zuffenhaus ($1913 each). Design911.co.uk also sells a 15x9 Fuchs replica.

The factory 9x15 fuchs are very spendy, there are quite a few welds up around, about $1k/pair. Gotti made 15x9, don't see them for sale very much anymore but there still has to be tons of them around. I think BBS made some cast 15 x 9's. Minilites are still available as well, also cast and heavy.

thanks for the info, I emailed Jongbloed and Buckley. Seems there is a market for these, not sure why they cost so much.

Ryan at JB is excellent to deal with, though his estimated ETA may be a little "enthusiastic"... JB's and Buckley's are forged and quite light and strong, the Braid's look great (may get a set for my street car) but are "Semi-Forged"..

Tell me about it!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Jongbloeds (good tip from Gary and Sean). But it took 14 weeks for them to arrive. Plan ahead!

Buckley said 4 weeks, no reply from Jongbloed... looks like an easy choice.

14? that's all??
I had Ryan just rebuild a set for me with new offsets....almost 6 months.... Then when I got them, they built two wrong (matched up the wrong inner and outer barrels on front and back of two) and they apparently "lost" one of the bolts, but shipped them anyway, so I'll assume no QC check was done.

I love the wheels and the quality of the barrels, but I was a little disappointed with the service.... I'd still use him again, but be a little more careful this time with my expectations... besides, he acknowledges that he owes me.

Braid is coming to the PCA National Office this Friday. We're going to do a video on their products. Can't wait to see what they look like in person.
