not in my experience. here's my order history:Those delays are behind them. Nice wheels.
We made the first 18x10" wheel that fit these cars without tricks ourselves (with our initial D-Force offering) in 2011. We were on the hook for 100 of these things, and it hurt, but we got the wheel made. Our 10" wide wheel offsets can be rotated front to rear on S197 and S550 - but they are not the same offsets from model to model. Then everyone and their brother copied our published 18x10 offset...I assume you have the Cortex offset coilover setup. Does anyone else make a coilover that can handle the 11" wheels?
I assume you'll be doing the non-rotatable setup since they're coming from Vorshlag. I test fit an 11" HRE FF15 wheel on my S197, and the backspacing was nowhere close with H&R coilovers.
Who gets blamed when a supplier is late? The dealer. We've had people call us every name in the book - and this is 99% out of our control. If there was a faster way to do this we would. Yes, we order "stocking orders" (above) but those almost never make it to us - they get gobbled up with later orders long before they are delivered to us. Other than ordering containers full of wheels in one size/color we are just as stuck as everyone else. We could sell other brands that don't fit right, have group buys and even longer waits... but that's even more hassle.
for my curiosity, did Vorshlag ever build hubcentric spacers for mustangs? I know of the lugcentric ones (as I nearly bought a pair before going with a hubcentric offering).
Well pro teams have VERY different maintenance schedules than club racers, autocrossers or HPDE champions. We have supplied spacers, wheel studs and lug nuts to many pro teams and many of them buy studs/nuts in the hundreds. They often use the lug nuts for ONE tire change, then toss them. That's not how the rest of us do it.From my side, almost every PWC and IMSA mustang team ran various size spacers, most of the time hubcentric and commonly in the 3/4" -1" range up front unless they ran fancier wheels than what the car was provided (many of the 302R's were all over the place, but the 302S was commonly seen with that Ford BBS wheel since it kept the sanctioning body less-unhappy).
