i was going to go to vrwheels but their reputation isnt too great. i might hit up a guy named mikey cristi from dippedparts.com someone referred me to him. not sure what to expect though.

Contact Ralph Wright or Simple Wheel Werks. They are reputable in re barreling wheels.

so im having trouble finding barrels to fit these wheels. so far the place thats working on my barrels have ordered a set and found the faces are too small and do not fit tight in the barrel. is that a American Barrel issue or is this face an oddball size? anyone that could help with some insight would be appreciated.
