Is this right? Waiting 17 weeks for Rims?(resolved)

[BADVELLE]

What most buyers do not realize is that the spring/summer months are peak season for wheel manufacturers. Think about it, it is car show and cruise-night, racing etc... season and everyone wants a fresh pair of shoes on their rides. In the fall and winter, production drops dramatically, and that is the 6-8 week production time period. Now, some vendors are always quicker than others, but that doesn't help your case much if there is a specific brand/style you want and got to have it.

Realistically, guys should be ordering their wheels sometime in December to have them ready for the next show season. Next time you see an end of year sale on custom built wheels, keep that in mind!

Actually proper planning would take care of this long lead time issue, this is still no excuse.
