Yes they are, but they are not included. As a matter of fact they went to the recyclers a couple of months ago. One of the wheels was bent causing a hell of a vibration. It didn't effect the tire though.

On dirt & gravel and low speeds you won't notice it. It's at 65 MPH that you realy notice it, especially with as short of a wheelbase my has.
I have to leave at 7AM to make sure I'm at work by 8, and then I leave at 5PM and don't get home until almost 6. I average 1-1/2 hours a day just comuting.

Mine's cruising 60 mph on lightly traveled highway that I can almost drive in my sleep. Your kind of traffic would drive me bonkers in a very short time.

good morning missouri.... i have to go out and wake the chickens up.... i am not real sure of what the day will bring, probably more work..
i have one week left to get ready for my trip..
i am hoping we can get bullet running and driving.. would also like to get 'ole rip' and the street rod put in the shop before i leave, i would feel better having them nice and safe indoors.

Morning folks.
I like my 6 mile drive to work with 99% ZERO traffic, takes about 6 to 10 minutes. If I want to make it fun and drive Dukes of Hazzard style I drive almost the same parallel route, but on a gravel road.

Good morning all. Nice brisk morning here. We're about to lose another veteran to cancer. My wife has another uncle hasn't even made it to 60 and doc is giving him maybe four weeks. She's taking care of him since his woman is in too bad shape emotionally to take care of him.

Thank you RC, will do. It's rough, he's taught me a bunch about home construction and repairs. To see him pretty much confined to a hospital bed at his home is sad as can be.
