yeah, you gotta point about the drum stretchyness. i forgot all about that. i never turned that drum. it was very very very close to being round, so i never bothered. (thats 3 verys so i mean almost pretty close) i have another 350 wheel here. but it looks crappy. and as another note, im pretty sure thats a 350 wheel. but for some reason it could be a 360 drum. but im 99 percent sure its a 350. they might be the same or close enough that what your doing to it wont matter. just if something seems way wrong, (which it shouldnt) thats why. but im pretty sure they are interchangable. really. seriously, a bolt up kind of thing.
