Re: Eagle 225 wheel now special order only

"Hi there,
We still offer the 225 in both 18" and 20". However, this part has been changed from a regularly stocked item to a "custom order" item. We found this gives our customers more fitment options because you can specify what backspace you would like your wheels built to. Also, the 225 uses a 6061-spun forged outer hoop now. If your interested, please have your retailer place an order with one of our warehouses. They will turn that order over to a build sheet for our factory. the lead time is 6-8 weeks however that is more of a worst case scenario. If parts are in stock and ready to be assembled, we can usually complete orders in just a couple weeks. Hope that answers your questions!"

Thank you,
