I had some domed wheels made by an engineer friend because I wouldn't pay that postage, it's too much

Better tuning stability with a trem. No need if you have a fixed stop tail or trapeze

I just ordered a couple for both myself and a mate. Postage within the US was free and I am using a post forwarding service from there. Reckon they’ll work out at about a fiver a set
