Back ordered parts/wheels

[Grumpy old man]

Back in December 2021 I ordered 1 extra chrome Wheel Vintiques "vette" rallye wheel from Summit and It was backordered , I thought no big deal they aren't a hard to get wheel , So after 7 months of trying dozens of calls to Summit and Wheel Vintiques and a delivery date being pushed up multiple times I finally found 1 at Coker tire and they only had 1 in stock . I should have it in a few days . Wheel Vintiques shows them being available again in October , 11 Months on back order waiting for parts to build more wheels , These aren't custom expensive wheels that I would expect an extended wait on They're just chrome rallyes . Back when I ordered the wheels they were $120.00 each Todays price for 1 wheel from Coker $200.00 with shipping .

Parts just keep getting harder to find and more expensive .
