Cost to get wood felloe wheels rebuilt?

Post by Les Schubert » Thu Dec 02, 2021 10:17 am

Curious as to what it now costs to get some 30x3-1/2 wheels rebuilt with wood felloes?
Thank you

Bill Calimer built me a 30 x 3-1/2 wheel for my '14 about a year ago, and it was $285. Impeccable quality.

I agree with Randall. You get what you pay for. Why go with a company you know nothing about?

Calimer's has price list on line. He's making a set of front for me now, these are the all steel rim and felloe clincher combo (non-demountable) 30x3, from the early twenties. The spoke shape and size is special so it's taking a bit extra time. Sent him the spoke to get the shapes right, they are somewhat oval but unlike the early oval wood spoke wood felloe types.

Stutzman did mine, 30 x 3-1/2 wheel for my 1911 Touring about 5 years ago, splendide and Impeccable quality either. I provided the hub and the rim and rebuilt all spokes and wood felloes. I can't be more happy. He could also sandblast your rims and hubs for additional cost if you want. Here some pictures as well. Hope that help.

The $170 cost is for a steel felloe wheel with wood spokes by Stutzman. Call him and leave a message telling what you want and he'll call you back (that's the Amish way.) ‭(330) 897-1391‬

Both Stutzman and Calimer do quality work... So far I've had Stutzman do my wheels and I have no complaints. Excellent quality.

Thank you all for the information. I have a full set of wheels all new with new rims that were made about 10 years ago and a friend wants to buy them and I am trying to figure a price that’s fair to both parties!!

Stutsman did my wood felloes for 250.00 each this summer and did a beautiful job.
