Received an e-mail from 1320 Wheels earlier this week:

Here is a production update regarding the 6 lug 17" truck wheels.
Finishing is taking a little longer than expected. The estimated ship date is the 3rd week of April.
We will require balances to be paid in full one week prior to shipping.
Feel free to contact me at anytime to set up payments or for further questions.
Thanks again,
Derek

these wheels are pretty slick for what they are but i want to see a 17x4.5 next to a 17x9.5 ... i want to see if the rear has a deeper outside lip than the front if it dont then it will look just like another set of wheels from the swap meet.
but if they have the right offset from each other this could be a big seller in my opinion. i would look further into buying thses if so.

I wonder if M&H 390/40R17s will fit on a 2013 Silverado using the 9.5s?

I know they suggest a 12" wheel, but the Lightning guys have been putting them on wheels anywhere from 9" to 11" for years.

I just don't know if the clearance would be there for them to fit.

Based on the last (2) e-mails I received from Derek (see above), the first run should be shipping this week...or next...depending on whether he meant the 3rd week or the 3rd FULL week of April.

Just received this update...looks like the ship date moved out a week:

Al, I've just received the latest update from Racestar.
The wheels are expecting to ship the last week of the month. All orders will be shipping the same day.
Your order for a 17x7 / 17x9.5 GM Chrome truck package has been reserved.
We'd like to have the balance paid in full by April 22nd. This will allow enough time for your payment to process into our account prior to shipping.

Thanks man,
Derek
