I just spoke with Fran Kress.
He uses Dow 7.
He will run the sets with or without powdercoated centers. The lips will be machined for the gold center/machined lip look. Or he can coat the whole wheel in powder.
Any backspacing.
So, Fran is very flexible with the wheels and has a loyal following of customers who speak his praises. And if you've been to some SAAC events, you've seen him.
Now for the pill.
The wheels are $1,100 OUCH. Whoops, I meant EACH.
Expensive? Yes. Reliable source? Yes.
Shipping is estimated at $30 EA, UPS.
Fran needs a 50% deposit to start.
He would like to run 50 sets. 
If you want a set, call him. 412-441-5750.
He intends to collect deposits before having a firm manufacturing date. Just so you know.
3 month lead time.
Are we ANY better off than we were before this thread? 
I'm willing to take my lumps if anyone feels like throwing stones.

"The wheels are $4,100 OUCH. Whoops, I meant EACH."

Fran's consistent. Remember, the mention of $1,000 per wheel was a "pre-order" price. We lost that, but the rest is the same.
Rodknock - I'll find out about M&A and COBRA II. You know, you can call him too. You need to get his address and mail that check in!
