Where can I get wheel barrels?

I have some 17" Lindsay Racing Fuchs. The barrels are damaged on the rears and need to be replaced.

Where can I buy some new 17x12 barrels to weld in?

Can't help, but if you do find some "wheel barrels", tell my wife. She thinks that's what you call the thing I use to move dirt in the back yard.

Lindsey will likely still repair your old wheels. I don't know for sure as I have not talked to Mike in a while but last I heard they still did some wheels.

As far as to where to get the DYI parts, I have no clue.

I agree with contacting Lindsey. Hopefully they still have source.

When I was selling custom wheels, it was getting really hard to find barrels or forging blanks in 17". Everyone wants 18" or bigger theses days.

I thought the thread title was a bit funny before opening it (who buys more than one), and was already thinking Tractor Supply. I think like your wife

BBS sells wheel halves.

Also, try Kodiak wheels. Kodiak Racing Wheels - Custom lightweight race wheels for performance and racing

The wheels I have are one piece barrels where he Fuchs center is mig welded in.

That being said, I could machine them to work with the barrel halves but they would not match the fronts.
