Back in HS a friend of mine and his brother just got back from Viet Nam where his brother landed a job at ET Mags in Benicia, CA. He was a warehouse dude involved with final inspection before shipping. Their biggest customer at the time was the Grand Auto chain in Cali. Any wheels that he found to have blems were set aside for disposal. Management let the employees have their pick. Needless to say we always had ET spokes on our rides.
