Wheels will be the only business of this new company, and not a sideline." He continued, saying on the subject of availability: "This is the largest issue of all according to our research. When was the last time you called your current supplier and had a pre-polished wheel blank shipped within 24 hours? Answer - never. Paughco MC will maintain levels of inventory on all popular sizes in pre-polished blanks, ready to go at moments notice."
