I’d really rather not put wheels on it to be honest, I love the stock wheels, I just hate the way they set the rear all sucked in. I’ve been trying to do a lot of reading about this crabbing issue and the companies making adjustable suspension components to overcome it. Namely KMAC and their adjustable ball joints and control arms.
HRE wheels are not a year out. We can have any of their 1-piece or 2-piece wheel models built in as little at 60 days. Some of their 3-piece wheel models can take up to 20-24 weeks but nothing is a year out. We're HRE's largest dealer in the world so feel free to message us if you need more information on them or any of the other wheel brands that we carry.

Wow! That’s great to know WB. I sent them a message about 2 months ago with my interest in a 1 piece forged set of wheels and they told me they were 10-12 months out for customer deliveries. I’ll hit you guys up separately for pricing to see where we are compared to BC Forged. Thanks!

Do you recall the name of the person that you had spoken to? They more than likely mistyped what they were trying to say as 1-piece wheels used to be at 10-12 weeks until it was reduced to approximately 8 weeks recently. HRE wheels will cost a lot more than BC Forged because of the much higher quality. HRE's are made in the USA and BC Forged is not.

I’ll PM you David to get some pricing ideas on the 303Ms I was looking at. Again, thank you very much for the information. The money isn’t the issue, it’s quality I’m after. Talk to you soon.
