New Bassett wheels are only $64 each, not bad for a quality wheel. I wont get any wheel that has the valve stem exposed, I learned that with my first late model. I have used Bassetts exclusively for the last 4 years on my big cars with no issues at all. I did have an Aero wheel with 4 races on it have a bead failure (bead folded over), caused an instant flat and was lucky not to crash the car as it happened in the middle of the corner at Slinger Super Speedway.
