Pricing we're looking at is ~250/wheel. I will call tomorrow to see if I can get more info. All the info is on their site. Wheel is 27lbs, backspacing for 2199-9962 is 5.5 I believe. Again I can check and get everything straing manana.

Tell me about it...they show sizes that they don't make. Trust me, I've been hoping that they make these for over 4 months now, finally taking into my own hands and trying to drum up some interest.

woohoo! ok I just talked to corporate American Eagle. They will cut a set of 18x9.5 wheels for us if we can get 10 orders. Backspacing would be up to us, we just have agree on a backspacing. Four our trucks I think 6" would be perfect. Creederado has 6" on his. I asked about the rolled lip and he wasn't sure about being able to do that.

Pricing. Ok, first things first, because I talked to AE and I'm not a retailer, I can't place the order as an individual. The order has to be placed through a retailer, ie we pay company X, they pay AE, done. Normally the retailer would pay AE, AE would ship it to the retailer and the retailer to us. However, because the retailer will not be local to us, AE agreed to ship it directly to us for an extra processing fee, he said small.
So this is the way it would work. Each of us would pay retailer X(wheel total + 1/10 of the processing fee), the retailer pays AE and then AE will drop ship out wheels directly to us. Sweet huh? Pricing is 190, that's a retailer price. I wouldn't anticipate much markup since all they are doing is passing the money and a little paperwork, but I need some details before I can be sure of that. I know at least 2 places where I know the owner/manager that may be willing to do this for us. I want a firm number first though before I waste their time.
So here is what I need to so I can get a firm price.
Confirm you're in/backspacing/shipping zip code
when I say confirm you're in, confirm you're in if the final price end up 250 or below(im personally hoping for 220/225).
Thanks guys,
Andrew
