Custom wheels.. how long did it take?

For those that have ordered wheels made to your back-spacing requirements... How long did it take until you recieved your wheels?

Upwards of 3 months depending on the companies backlog. Average though is around 3-6 weeks.

6 Months? wow. They said it's between 8 and 10 weeks, but probably closer to 12. I'm assuming they told me 12 so I don't keep bugging them. I can wait that long as the truck isn't currently drivable, but I didn't realize going with something other than a "stocked" item too so long.

Re: Custom wheels.. how long did it take?

I have custom wheels on my C10 but I don't remember how long I waited for them. It seems like it was about 6 weeks. I was told that if I waited until the car show season really kicked in the wait would be longer.

Re: Custom wheels.. how long did it take?

My wheels took about 6 weeks long. I got them at Newstalgia wheels. They do have wheels that are ready to be shipped,but if you want a specific backspace, then it will take at least 6 weeks.
