HI GUYS

I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF WIRE WHEELS AND HUB ADAPTORS FROM TRF.  I HAVE USED 
THEM 2 YRS.
MY REAR END STARTED CLUNKING, I SUSPECTED A BAD U-JOINT.  NO SUCH LUCK.  
AFTER RAISING THE CAR AND TURNING THE WHEELS BY HAND, I NOTICED THE WHEEL 
WAS MOVING BUT THE BRAKE DRUM WAS NOT.  THERE WAS ABOUT 3/8THS OF AN INCH 
SLACK.  NO WONDER IT CLUNKED.
I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT, AFTER ALL JUST TWO SEASONS AGO THEY WERE BRAND 
NEW.  CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE WHEEL SPLINES WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS REVEALED 
NO DAMAGE.  THE HUB ADAPTORS SHOWED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE.  THIS OF COURSE WAS 
A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

HAS ANYBODY ELSE HAD THESE KINDS OF TROUBLES?  ANY SUGGESTIONS?
IS THERE A SOURCE OF "QUALITY" HUB ADAPTORS?

I LIKE WIRES BUT THIS IS WAY MORE TROUBLE THAN EXPECTED.

THANKS
DAVE
