I ordered new wheels from Coker Tire. Order confirmation said it would be 8-12 weeks. Called them yesterday to get a status update. They make their own wheels, and as they get made, they get shipped because there are a TON of backorders. They also said they are having a challenge getting raw materials. I also ordered new wheel rings as well. He said they just sent back a large supply of rings because they were inferior (had a yellow tinge to them). They had to change suppliers because parts are not meeting their standards. Getting industry cranked up again to the standards we expect with people willing to work will take awhile. I thanked the guy at Coker for doing all they can, and he thanked me because he has gotten so much guff from angry customers. I ordered an engine from Blueprint Engines back in early February. Expected ship date now first week of June (16 weeks). They ran out of camshafts, then Edelbrock heads. Everyone is feeling the pinch!
