Sorry for not being on here for a long time.  So far I have had two people contact me about getting bogie wheels redone.  I am planning on going to the MVPA convention this year.  If you can bring yours to the convention I can take them back with me, saving shipping.  Also I can bring one of my spares for people to look at.

Wish i could make it out there for the convention. Maybe in a couple years ill be able to come out. For now I will just have to pay shipping charges, probably going to be as much as getting the wheels retread!

Just an FYI. I have 17 boggie wheel cores I will sell for $15 each and can deliver them either Thursday or Friday to the convention.  SPF.

I too have 16 old rims I’d like to quit tripping over. I’ll make you a great deal, but you got to come get them in S. California

So far I have been contacted by three people to get wheels retread.  I will contact the company to see what it will cost.

Also I spoke to soon about going to the convention this year.  In the past month I have had to spend a combined total of $3000 on my truck and daily driver.  That killed my convention money.

Hello all,

Sorry for the delay.  I just got an email back from the company on retreading the wheels.  It will be $120 per wheel for an order of at least 40 of them.  They also said it would take them at least 10 weeks.  I have heard that before, they said 3 months and it took them 3 weeks.  Although that was before the supply chains went to crap.  I would like 50% upfront, just incase they get done quicker than expected.  If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Again I am sorry for the delay on responding lately.  Work has gotten busy for me.

I prefer using Fastenal for shipping, it is relatively easy and convenient for me.  The wheels will need to secured on a pallet somehow.  I have tied them and screwed them to a pallet, but I really like it when there is a box made on the pallet. 

My local Fastenal is:

I think they need my phone number, so message me if you need me information.

According to the website, Fastenal dose not ship between West and East coast at this time. Looks like they closed some hubs too.
