Yeah Id be interested in a fat spoke linkage. If it will work with true duals
Stone, Ive heard from several people that they may have fixed the stem opening to where you dont have to drill. A couple of people on here didnt have to drill, Dave AKA Ramhunter didnt have to drill anything. Just keep us posted and with PICS

I will guys. I am hoping RW will let me take pics of their entire manufacturing process so I can do a complete thread with how the wheels are actually made.

Well, I got my wheels today. They look sick. The only issues I have is the pulley doesnt fit and the long spacer in the front is about 1/6"-1/8" to long. Im having the pulley and the wheel apacer machined to fit. Almost a direct bolt on. But not quite.

Congrats Bro, Make sure you post some pics when you get em on. Having them machined isnt too bad of a deal. Be sure and let us know if the valve stem openings are too small. Did you go all chrome?
