Wheel builder

Although probably asked before can anyone recommend a good wheel builder. I have just been informed that The Central Wheel Co wont have any 16" classic steel rims until May and I want to have it on my 07 Dyna before then. The nearer to Kent the better

Re: Wheel builder

Hi Kevin

I started a similar thread over on the Vintage Section. There are few replies there. I'm going to use Wylde's in Leeds - their website has a pick and mix type approach. Nowhere near Kent but the price includes courier pick up and redelivery.

Not used them myself yet. Only just got all the bits and havent got my lazy 4rse round to it.

Re: Wheel builder

You could try,- MILWAUKEE MOTORCYCLE Co. Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. UK. Phone: 44 (0) 1892 - 538102.
Milwaukee Motorcycle Co,Kent UK Harley Davidson and Buell Parts and Service, I know a couple of people who've had wheels done there in the past (admittedly a fair time back).

Why not just lace it yourself, I did mine last year, never done one before it really wasn't that difficult.
