The outfit is British Wire wheel. They have done my wires and they
do a dynamite jobe at a very reasonable price. Their number is
408/479-4495. Shipping the wheels is not that big a deal. Just find a
cardboard box about the right size and pack the rest with cardboard. That's
exactly how they get shipped from Dayton wire wheel.

They've got to be pumped. I use Castrol/Girling fluid. Silicone
works fine but is difficult to purge the air bubbles completely and it
doesn't swell the rubber parts like the Castrol fluid.

Don't blame DRI. They wouldn't approve of this anyway.
