I would beg to differ with regard to ERW used in cage fabrication, for a simple reason - there are thousands of cages out there made with it, and there is nothing wrong with them.

There is a lot of DOM, SAE1005 hydraulic tubing around (at the scrapyard), wich is so soft that it's ASTM spec doesn't even include tensile strength - only rated burst pressire.

Lightweight steel wheels are close to aluminium in weight. Don't take 'em to GoonsRuS Tire - a moron can destroy them with a tire machine! (Hand mounting or an experienced pro = no problem)

I have a groover, may not be that far from you (Barnstead, NH) - tire machine here too. As far as experience - once you groove yours, you'll be experienced! I've done a few sets.....
