Lightweight wheels

Dave,
They also go under World Class Machine just north of Daytona Beach, FL. It's a CNC machine shop whos owner is also a car enthusiast that origianlly decided to do wheels on the side. I hooked up with them in 1995 but I'm not clear on the history before then. It is a small wheel business when compared to the "name" brands, but word of mouth, deals with chassis builders, dealers like Harlow Tire, my efforts & others have kept them busy enough to not need much more regular advertising in the past. They have been doing more advertising lately with a few ads in National Dragster in the last few years, been attending some car shows and races, been at the PRI show in Orlando for the last 2 years and will be there again in a couple of weeks. By not getting too big, too fast, they can concentrate more on customer service, quality and do more custom applications & offsets.

I've always liked to describe their products as a good balance of weight, strength and price. But they are constantly looking to reduce weight without compromises and have been getting SFI certifications. Their one piece forged front wheels (not sure if "billet" was accurate in my earlier post) is their latest effort to save weight. But their original 3-piece design, still pretty light, also offer the options of offset changes, damaged section replacement, etc. instead of having to buy a whole new wheel.
