Hey, I'm back after a bit and looking to revive my cabbing setup. When I last left it, my wheels have gone bare. I got the go-ahead for a set. Time to dust the machine off and make some cabs! Here are my options:
-Set of 8" Nova wheels. Can't go wrong with them. Cost prohibitive because I have another mouth to feed in the house(the reason for my long absence from the board)
-A set of wheels from Exolite. Link here They are USA made, and Exolite is the only place I can find them. I asked and they are available in 8" for roughly the same price as the budget Kingsley North wheels (imported).
-A set of the wheels from Johnson Brothers. Link here They make them in house as far as I know. I don't like how they appear to be undercutting Diamond Pacific (In Barstow no less, seems fishy), but they are USA made and priced reasonably, especially if I can mix and match for a discount.
Has anyone used the Exolite or Johnson Bros wheels? I'd like to know experiences as far as durability, softness, smoothness, etc. Opinions? Before I lay down a bunch of money, I want to know what I'm getting. Its between the two. I prefer USA made wheels over the import wheels, so Kingsley North, Covington etc are out. Its a personal preference. Too bad because I they are my go-to supply places.
