    I translated this for our non-Swedish speaking numbskulls. :p
    (Jag översatte detta för våra icke-svensktalande numbskulls.)


    "Hello friends
    Anyone have any tips on where to find these rims?
    Or used in the same size?

    Summit will not have these available until March

    It's in English right? I have written in English, my phone has chosen to translate without my authority

    The original post appeared in Swedish. Technology is weird sometimes. But, I've got your back! ;)

    I do not believe that you will find these new, in-stock anywhere.

    Wheel Vintiques drop-ships from their warehouse, and not to vendors.

    They are out-of-stock at the factory.

    Might try Wheel Vintique directly.

    I bought the same style in 17" and had to wait a couple months too..

    I've had these same wheels on back order since May. Summit recently told be they expect them by late December. This is after they told me they would be available in August, then September, then December. Can't wait to see when the next expected date will be. Hope this happens before next spring.

    Over $200 for a 1948 Ford wheel? That's crazy! I'll sell you some for half price. Come on by and pick which ones you want.

    (Yes I realize he is clear around the world, and I am being a jerk by offering him the wheels he wants. I do not have the ability to ship wheels overseas.)

    Worth a look. They are an inch wider and I don't know how "-.25 offset" relates to backspacing. I have used Hey Machinery before. Good service, didn't freight gouge. I got "blanks", they look very nice.
     
  16. Yep, went through the same thing for some chrome reverse, I ordered in April. I moved on, bought a different style elswhere.
     
  17. I sent several sets of wheels to HAMBers in Europe in years past. They preferred USPS, no idea what it is like now. I always sourced actual wheel shipping box/s

    Truthfully I would keep my order in with Summit. They deal with shipping too Europe and the rest of the world daily and as others said, handle everything from their end even though the wheels may be drop shipped from the factory. Wheels Vintique is just not producing wheels as fast as people have been ordering them.
