Lindsey wheel question

Does anyone know where Lindsey Racing sources the barrels for their Fuchs 17" conversions?
Thanks,
Mark

Im kinda curious about this also.

Does anyone know anyone who sources barrels? BBS or Fikse maybe?

I just saw that Fikse is is in my area. I'll check with them this week. I would think there have to be shops that spin up the barrels for custom apps.

BBS is a common source, but locals like Rich Bogart here in San Diego CNC machines his own centers, spins up his own barrels and takes them to LA to be heat-treated. Jae Lee buys Rich's barrels for the 3-piece 17" Fuchs wheels he has made up. Here's a pic of a set of his road race wheels on my LL7. They are 10" & 12" x 16" and cost around $425/ea. They are lighter than any other wheel this size I have ever seen.

I have Jae Lee's 3pc fuchs and love them. Here though is a link for BBS halves.

I bet if you asked Mike Lindsey himself, he'd tell you. If you call them up and inquire about wheels, i'm pretty sure Mike is the one you'll talk to on the phone. Nice, nice guy.
