I killed 2 of my konigs. i want to cry

Well due to a fallen rock on highway 18 on the way to big bear, I now have to nice wheels for the End tables i've been meaning to make for my living room.

i just found out both wheels on my passensger side are f'ed up. They cant be repaired.

This happend 20 mins after the whole slave cyclinder thing. (i had a bad day that day).

And to top it off, the wheels i have are not longer made!

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!


RIP little guys


Helium bronze (Ultra Light Weight Wheel) 17"
Any one have some they are selling? or know of a place that has them in stock?
