Brian,

When I posted my request a used wheel was what was lurking in the back of
my mind.  I'm curious to see the picture(s) Eric will be posting to see
what his sand looks like.  There's a used truck place south of me that I
might try calling to see what they have for used wheels laying around.

Thanks!

Brad
