Thanks Everyone....I have withdrawn my offer on the wheels...Too expensive to get them on the rig...more than buying some from Van Cafe and having them shipped up here or getting them next time I pass near Sta Cruz.. Guess I'll just do that next time I head south...

Again, thanks to all who replied with expert advice...
