This gets you 11-12 1 inch wide wheels worth depending on how well you spaced your guide.

Also, I'll throw in a vote for Colsons and AM Performance with Blue Nitrile, used both, like both, sorry, no concrete data. Just make sure you use all 6 bolt holes we sheared off a wheel that had only 3 bolts the other day

I was wondering if anyone has used Banebots new "ground flat Colsons" and seen how they compare to regular Colsons.
