Notes on measurements:
- Measurements were made in Sept of 2019. Ten wheels from each mold were randomly selected from 1,900 wheels. The wheels were examined and the results averaged.
- In general, all of the BSA wheels continue to be good, although there were a few changes in ranking. Note that the difference between the Excellent, Good, and Okay ratings is just a few thousandths of an inch. One thing we may need to include in the rankings is mold quality.
