Try gade-thrasher on this site. He has them available, and I think he has recent posts in the classified section with tunnel extensions and tunnel reinfrorcements as well.

So far, my opinion is that, as nice as they are, the aluminum idlers do not hold up well with hard trail riding. I bought two high end wheels ($130/each wheel) and I got hairline cracks in some of the spokes in both of them after about 3-4 rides. Good thing I had this possibility of these wheels failing in mind and had the plastic wheels with me as a back-up to put on. Could have ruined a trip. Again, I love the way they look..BLING! BLING!....but I will not put aluminum idlers back on. They do not have the reuqired "flex" needed in trail-riding like plastic wheels do.
Just my $.02.

i would agree with that, those wheels must take a pounding in everyday use

Some companies that make Billet wheels offer a lifetime warranty against bending or breaking.

Some are made really thin & light but they are not very strong.
