Here's a few companies that I'm looking at for the wheels.

Kodiak Motorsports Inc.
- Already talked to them, they don't have any FSAE discount as 150 teams already buy from them.
- Based out of Vancouver, BC
- Average cost is approximately 1300.00 after taxes and shipping.
- Shipping costs 100 dollars for a set of wheels.
- website: http://www.kodiakracingwheels.com/wheel-prices.php

Keizer
- http://fsae.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/412600868/m/58810220241
- Another major wheel sponsor company, that does give some discount.
- All information is included to contact the person at this link.

Robert Thibert
- Based out of Quebec
- http://www.rthibert.com/index.cfm

Hoosiers
- Offers 20% discount
- Ships from Surry BC or St. Cathrines ON

Hey Parm,

Fountain Tire agreed to give us 2 sets of Goodyear FSAE specific tires last year. All you have to do it follow up with them this year.

btw the suspension parts are ready, just waiting to transfer them to the computer there.

More wheels, however they will require an adapter plate to be made to use the Polaris hubs:

WE NEED TO ORDER WHEELS AND MAKE ADAPTERS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pierce has been in contact with me about this issue. I will get a hold of Aero wheels this week to obtain some dimensions. If they are suitable we will probably go with two sets of these wheels.

Im going to call them first thing tomorrow morning, and by the way, Pierce has complete a REV0 design for hub adapters.

OK, that's good. Just as long a Pierce knows.

FYI those ITP wheels in the ebay auction may be a typo or mis measure. ITP was the first place I looked for wheel since they are an ATV wheel maker and their wheels are relatively light. Aany of the catalogues I've looked in or their website doesn't list a 13". Also, the one set looks like beadlocks, we don't really need those.
