Yea they do its a great place and the guy im dealing with cancelled the order and refunded the money with no problemI just wanted that wheel and didnt want to wait, Im in the process of seeing what it takes to send my own wheel to them and get it done......You wanna take my place on this one? Hes looking for a buyer for it it was a expensive wheel with triple padding thats why I wanted it! it had a heavy discount since it was a custom order that was cancelled and not paid for.

If you find a good one let me know I have the same year. Mine has been looking dated as well.
