I decided on ordering 4 new rims that will fit my current 15” tires to reduce the initial cost. I have called BB Wheels because they had the rims in stock from US wheel I am interested in but they would not say if they would fit, nor give me any dimensions. They said to order one and try it. I asked about returns if it didn’t. There response was it’s covered under their standard return policy. Customer cover the cost of returns plus a 25% restocking fee. I don’t think so! They suggested calling CPP. I did and they said they couldn’t tell me if a manufactures rim would fit and suggested I have them made by Wheel Smith.

So I called US Wheel and got someone that didn’t know the specs but said 99% of the wheels made today 15” and bigger fit disc brake setups. He also said his tech guy was on vacation and would be in on Monday. He supposed to return my call on Monday. We’ll see.

I may have to custom order from Wheelsmith.
