Very price competitive with Rotas, etc, even with shipping. I like them because the competition models have steel inserts where the lug nuts contact the wheel. For race cars, where the wheels are on and off A LOT, that reduces wear.<div>Lead time is about a month as they cut the backspace to order.</div><div><div style="display: block;" class=""><div style="-webkit-user-select: all; -webkit-user-drag: element; display: inline-block;" class="apple-rich-link" draggable="true" role="link" data-url="https://revolutionwheels.com/"><a style="border-radius:10px;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;display:block;-webkit-user-select:none;width:300px;user-select:none;-webkit-user-modify:read-only;user-modify:read-only;overflow:hidden;text-decoration:none;" class="lp-rich-link" rel="nofollow" href="https://revolutionwheels.com/" dir="ltr" role="button" draggable="false" width="300"><table style="table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;width:300px;background-color:#E9E9EB;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" class="lp-rich-link-emailBaseTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300"><tbody><tr><td vertical-align="center"><table bgcolor="#E9E9EB" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300" style="font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;table-layout:fixed;background-color:rgba(233, 233, 235, 1);" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:8px 0px 8px 0px;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStackItem"><div style="max-width:100%;margin:0px 16px 0px 16px;overflow:hidden;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:500;font-size:12px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;text-align:left;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-topCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://revolutionwheels.com/" style="text-decoration: none" draggable="false"><font color="#000000" style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);">Viva La Revolution</font></a></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:400;font-size:11px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;text-align:left;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-bottomCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://revolutionwheels.com/" style="text-decoration: none" draggable="false"><font color="#A2A2A9" style="color: rgba(60, 60, 67, 0.6);">revolutionwheels.com</font></a></div></div></td><td style="padding:6px 12px 6px 0px;" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIconItem" width="36"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://revolutionwheels.com/" draggable="false"><img style="pointer-events:none !important;display:inline-block;width:36px;height:36px;border-radius:3px;" width="36" height="36" draggable="false" class="lp-rich-link-captionBar-rightIcon" alt="apple-touch-icon_152x152.png" src="cid:A2E73590-2A48-4D0A-9368-94A323AA98F6"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div></div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Dec 22, 2023, at 8:54 AM, yellow04 via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>Bob Kramer is spot on, we play by the 1 1/2" over stock rule here out east, and for a TR3 that means your are limited at 5 1/2" width. When Bill Dentinger finally stopped running (and cracking!) his collection of ARE Silverstones on Old Blue, he put a set of the 5 1/2 X 15 Panasports on the '56 TR3. He ran Hoosier Vintage TD's, and when I got the car I switched to Hoosier Speedsters. Knowing Jeff Snook won a pair of Kastner Cups with his TR3A running 195X65R15 Speedsters, and remembering hearing Kas compliment Jeff on his choice for tire size, I went with the narrower tire.
