> Hello Bill, boy I wish it was hot here in Australia, I Hate winter!
> I was surprised to see on the weather report here that it is so hot 
> around NewYork, 42 C thats like 112F
> Yes I was planing on doing the wheels on a core exchange basis. I do 
> have some cores here for people who do not have a core, but they took 
> a lot of trouble and expense to aquire so I will be charging $150.00 
> extra if I have to supply the core.
> A re-cast wheel will be $600.00us and return shipping will be around 
> the $100.00us or slightly higher since the return box will be very 
> well packed with lots of Bubble wrap etc so will be heavyer than a 
> wheel coming.
> It may work out a bit cheaper if you can get together with someone 
> else and send 2 wheels over in the one box. Since there is no real 
> concern with damage because they are to be stripped and re-cast 
> anyway.
> From what I have been told the Post office your end has size limits 
> and 2 wheels is as big a box as can be sent, maybe 3 with a really 
> tight fit, that is something we will have to look into.
> When I finish the first wheel I will take High res detailed pictures I 
> can send out to show the High Quality I will be offering, and like all 
> my parts they will be Unconditionaly Gauranted.
> I strip the wheel back to the metal inner, then I spend considerable 
> time adjusting it so it will fit in the resin better then they did 
> from factory ( the fit was shockingly bad! )  I will never get them 
> perfect but way better than factory.
> Core is then sand blasetd and painted before being cast. The re-cast 
> wheel is then sanded and polished.
> One thing you will need to be super carefull about is how you handle 
> the new wheel, I will send them out with a Mirror finish so if you 
> just plonk it on the table etc you will scratch it. I recomend going 
> straight from the Bubble wrap onto the car, regards George.
