I got a front from them a while back. It has a bunch of run out were it is welded together. The quality is suspect but my original was so bent I had no choice. They were out of rears when I ordered.

I know about Walridge.  Problem with their Radaelli is they buy them chromed, undrilled and have someone drill them which equals no chrome on hole edges.

Terry I've had the same problem in the past with that big honking weld running out another .040.  It sucks and I've asked the question here before about the remedy. I guess we live with it.
As  far as the chrome and the holes drilled Ted, I've never noticed any rust on my 175's rims and there 4 years old.  I do ride it alot but its never left outside, and very seldomly washed [:o)]

I have used three sets of Radaelli rims from Walridge and have been very happy with the service and quality of the product. Also, they will spend the time to make sure you get the correct product for your application.

Thanks, I will try Kevin also.  Still no luck so far and i really would like to find NOS. New ones don't have the name on them like NOS.  Ted
