Yes I got one from Eugene from Grand Forks, the other one still works.
Also got one from Overspray. If anybody spots one at a garage sale please grab it for me cause you never know how long the ones I have will last.

No it's not that easy, but what makes it work so good is there are no runs. You let the wheels spin till they are dry. Depending on the paint, 1 hr if the paint has hardner in it, 3 hr if your using old enamel.

I’m not that pleased with how they turned out, got a wobble in a couple of them. Will have to take them to the wheel shop and have them straighten out. They will be good enough to drive out to the salt flats. Now if I can get Overspray to sell me the two tires he is lending me.

I really like the "look" Tom.  :)

Are you taking the extra set of wheels along just to run on the salt?

Jake, none of us race or "run" on the salt, were just spectators. What I meant was to drive out to and on the salt.

Tim, it’s the angle of the shot that helps make it look better. As for the top look close at all the wrinkles on the side, I had just put it up after it had been folded down on the car for two weeks, hope they come out.
