I have a set of cast alloy wheels that i bought last year that as far as i can research are CMA or Cambray made.

I've only just purchased my 650SS so I'm trying to sort out the little issues it has, one of the major ones is just how oval the rear brake feels. I've taken the drum off today but I can't hold it well enough to check how far out it is....
