I have been told that they might discontinue the 034.
There are notmany units sold these days due to ecnomy slowdown.

Jim K (see above) is the only person I have found that can put their hands
on them. The local dealers here have echoed the discontinued comment.

Jim K also has the best prices I could find anywhere!

Thanks all! Sounds like trouble in the future if a replacement is needed. I'm already trying to find another L Prof. Carrier unit to match the one I have. No more wild goose chases.

Jim K cannot get them if Eagle does not stock them. They are out. There were two listed in their stock, in Colorado. Physical search turned up only one, which is on a brown truck on it's way to me.

I now have four locally scrounged 034's, the one new one on the way, and two never used Alcoa LTS's on the way as well, so I got all 7, from three sources...

I'll put the LTS's on the front as they will be the best of the bunch...I hope.

OK, Here's the poop: Summit Racing and nearly every other Wheel supplier out there "stocks" Eagle 034's. Call 'em and they say "I will check our warehouse" which means calling Eagle and checking stock. Nobody stocks jack-shit anymore these days, they just distribute other people's stuff. It is also not just auto parts. Try to get a part for a piece of process equipment and you are waiting on the MFG.

I've called everyone. Hector at Hubcap-tire-and-wheel went the extra step and hounded Eagle to physically check stock.

Bob,

I ended up with 4 used 034's a brand new 034, and two new but needing to be polished LTS's.

I'll polish the two rear 034's I have plus the LTS's and get my tires next weekend.

I seem to remeber SOMEONE putting some kind of a coating on his newly re-polished wheels. Sounds like a good idea if you are polishing used wheels without any tires mounted.

I have been told off-line that the product used was "Nyalic."

http://www.nyalic.com/

I haven't tried it myself but I have been told it self-levels to a nice finish but has an extended drying time. So it would be good to lay the wheels flat. No Tires would reduce masking but might open yourself up to scuffs and scratches during tire mounting. I have also be told it is not cheap, has a strong odor and an so good ventilation is recommended.

My thoughts are to cover the wheels with a box during drying. Spraying the inside of the box with a light spray to trap any particles that might drop on the wheel. (Remember that I am more of a mechanic than a craftsman...)

I suspect there are other products out there....

Mike, Thanks for the tip on the Nylac. I was wondering how I would do this. I may also bring them to Performance wheel and tire for the work.
