The best way to get a set of wheels is to get them from someone that races. Is there a dirt track near you? Do you know anyone that races? I suggest tracking down a local racer and see if they have any good used wheels, that's how I got mine.

I bought my aluminium beadlocks from Drews. They can get you any offset you need. Mine are 14" wide. They work perfect for my 14.5 Boggers. I bought wide five rims and 5 to 4 adapters. I have bent 4 adapters but have never bent a rear wheel. Something to think about.
