After market wheel question

[49er]

Are there any forged wheel manufacturers that have shorter lead times than the typical 6-8 weeks. Looking for 21” monoblocks but need asap. Any recommendations !

A lot will TELL you they do.

I got my BC Forged in 5 weeks. To me, that was impressive, particularly when benchmarked against my previous experiences with HRE (3 months or more). I doubt you're going to get a custom made wheel any faster than that.

I agree. 5 weeks is very impressive. I bet they actually produce in house. That gives you a much better chance on their time estimate. Not a guarantee, but better odds. If they just private label like a lot of Brands do, it’s a Turkey Shoot as the actual manufacturer is cutting for more than one private label so the guess gets multiplied.

Make them squirm and ask for $100 per day deduction in price in writing for every day beyond the date THEY give you for delivery. That will tell you how good they feel their date actually is.

Speaking for myself and others the general experience is they lie lie lie about delivery times. It's pretty standard practice throughout that particular industry.

+1 for BC Forged.

My wheels are finishing production this week putting me at about 4 weeks. They make great quality wheels and I was extremely happy with their customer service.

+2 for Bc. Got my in hand in 4 weeks. Great quality, price etc. made in Taiwan if you care or not. My understanding they are the only company that makes their own barrels and faces. Prob why their price is so low. No need to purchase from anyone else

You have to post some pictures soon. I'm very curious to see how it turned out.

Me too. Would love to see the brushed black.

I did a similar finish for my wheels (different manufacturer) and am always pleased by the richness of the color.

Grabbed this shot today. The car is lowered on ACS springs right now. Installing KW V3 coilovers right after the new year so I can get it a little lower.

Thank you!

Pirelli Scorpion Zero - Only tire I could find that makes a 335 wide rear on a 22" rim.
