Since Douglas is pretty unreasonable at $125 a pop and 3 months to make them I found another source to purchase just the wheel halves, un-welded and un-drilled. They did mention you could bolt the rims together and make a two piece rim if you so desired. They quoted me a price of $50, and $64 per half which is not much cheaper then the douglas ones but at 1.5 week turn around time infinetly faster. If there is enough interest in purchasing (and quanity discount from the manufacturer) I would like to buy 10-15 halves and do a group buy type thing. I guess if you wanted to weld and drill it yourself you could or I could do it for a couple of extra bucks. I don't have any price #s yet, but for the sake of conversation until I do get some lets say $50 for each halve, unwelded and undrilled. I think (and hope) it will be considerably cheaper if we get a large quanity of them. I will post more info when I get it, but at this point, is anyone else interested?
