I talked to him yesterday on the phone, and he said around 45 days and the 10" wheels should be coming in. He said there will be around 2.5 - 3 inches of lip on the 10". not THAT much, but decent i suppose :)

Wheel Replicas, may be getting them first but they are not the ones manufacturing them...lol. There wheels are made in China, not that thats a big deal to me, I was one of the first guys to get the bullitt replicas when thye came out and some pepole made a big deal that the wheels were made in China, but truth be told they were much better quality and finish than the OE bullitt wheels. Wheel replicas most likely came up with the design then went over the pond to keep costs down which is great if you ask me, they are some of the best deals going.

Thats exactly why I asked.. I know wheelreplicas and partshopper are not the ones MFG the wheels but I am not sure there is another source we can contact.. If so that would be great thats why I asked... I have no problem with where they are made as long as they start making them....

You can already order the 18x10.5s the 17s are what everyone is waiting for.


partshopper has the 18x10.5 in their pull down

No....It is in their pulldown, but on the first page and on the bottom of the page the pulldown is on it says "18x10 are not ready to ship". They are going to be 18x10 not 10.5.
