I'd love if there is no shortage with the beadlock wheels, but there must be something going on.  In addition to my particular dealer, so many other people are reporting that the forged wheels are causing build delays.  My dealer has always been square with me; this is the fourth Raptor I've ordered from him and everything he has told me about each order panned out.  He said that his regional rep first told him about the beadlock shortage in mid-December.  He said that I did not need to change my order to the base wheels; he actually encouraged me to keep the beadlocks as those are the wheels I really want.  He did confirm that he spoke with his Ford rep again and if I keep the beadlocks on my order, it could be into March or April until my order gets scheduled. 

I'm okay waiting for the exact truck that I want.  I hate the machined finish on the base wheels.
