<< Has anyone priced a 13x6 Minilite wheel for a Spridget? I just got a quote
for $195.57 each. The price included lug nuts
and centre caps. Shipping was extra. The quote is from Mainstreet Motorsport
in CT (http://www.ctbw.com/mainstreet/). Does anybody know of another
source?

I don't know why this message was sent to me. I figure I might as well
share it with people who may care about these wheels.
