Be prepared.... $85 to $165 a wheel and maybe up to 8 weeks turnaround plus shipping both ways. Kind of pricey, but if that's the look your after then it's worth it.
Don't use Stockton unless it is absolutely the only alternative. Too many dissatisfied customers because of BS excuses or lack of customer service.

They're quick to take your money, but slow to get you the final product. I was quoted a 4-6wk turn around on 'custom built' wheels. I called @ the end of the 6th week & they had not even started the wheels. Order was placed in 1st week of Jan, the wheels were received in late March.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
