    anybody have any insight on these guys it says forged. and chrome. seems way to cheap for what you get. Superbells chrome are $700, speedway gets $600 and socal $650 , These things are 410.00 shipped to your door, anyone use one or know of the company reputation??

    Looks like a Hoffman Group seller, they have a bunch including HotRod Johnnie; Welder Joes - I can't keep up with them.

    figures another piece of pure crap. With advance plating having a fire not a lot of chrome axles out their U.S anyway and I don't know of another company that does the heat baking when plating suspension componets

    No, it's not a Hoffman Group Co. Dealt with them before and had no problems. Likely Chinese, but haven't run one so can't say anything about that item.

    A guy at work has one under his roadster and he ain't dead yet.

    If that is the same axle as the forged So-Cal Taiwan axles, they are actually a pretty good forging. But, if not, it could be anything. Hard to tell a cast from a forged from a picture. Buyer beware.

    I'm happy with the 86 year old axle Henry made. Bob
