Firestone Accu-forge wheels

[Don Bradner]

hdpsales is part of Southwest Wheel, mentioned in another post. Mine are
stud-piloted, not hub-piloted. The hdpsales site has a good explanation of the
difference at http://www.hdpsales.com/determine.htm

Front wheels are polished outside, duals are inside. My tags are inside, and
probably yours are as well.

I had a cracked left front when I bought it, found by the polisher most of us
employed at the Quartzsite rally. I ordered one from Soutwest/hdp and it was
$485.93 with 2-day air shipping. Don't have the invoice handy, but the 2-day air
was a significant amount.
