Re: [Chevelle-List] New wheels on the way,,finally
I know a lot of streetrodders and Cobra guys that own PSE knockoff wheels. The majority of them use safety wire. Being an experimental aircraft builder as one of my former hobbies,I plan to safety wire them,too. To a man,everyone with these wheels has been very satisfied and not had a wheel loosen. I'm looking forward to installing them on my Elky.

I did a quick check and found out that PS Engineering is right around the corner from me! Actually a couple of miles, but I think I could see them from my Dentists office.
