Jay,

Now what was the name of that Rolling Stones song?

Oh yeah, "You can't always get what you want."

"But if you try sometime, you just might find
You get a great deal!"

I know, I know those aren't the right lyrics!

It fits though! ;-)

Regards,
Rob M.

Cause you would get brand new ones which sell for $270 x 6 for a total of
$1620.

But the rumor is/was that Alcoa has stopped producing the HotShots and Classic wheels.

If this is so what do they replace the recalled wheels with?

No dog in this fight. Just wondering.

Gene,

Good question,

Feel like stepping up and taking the initiative and calling them up and
asking them?

If yes the number is: 800.242.9898

I don't have a dog in the fight either and he's a lot further from Alcoa
than the dog you don't have in the fight over there! ;-)

Regards,
Rob M.
