My 802a LB SCREW w/BL wheels was scheduled to the day on Friday as well.

My build date is Feb. 8th.

ETA: But my original build week was Jan 23rd and was pushed back to the week of Feb. 6th. So they are likely cycling them in as they are available.

My order was placed 8/03 with bead lock and no CF. I have a build date of Feb 6. I have been told delivery around March 1

Lots of Gen 01 beadlocks kicking around. Make a gen 1.9 version. Better looking to boot

My dealer told me last week that the company that was subcontracted to make the rims declared bankruptcy therefore no more beadlocks. He said he wasn't even able to input them on the dealer order, the the computer kicks them off? Anyone know if this is true?

Dealer might not be able to enter new orders for commodity constrained items such as BL and CF, but orders are getting pulled for Feb builds with both.....so not too sure the bankruptcy rumor is true. That would be rare for a Ford subcontractor.

I bought from Detroit Wheels, the ebay guy. 2k upfront, they ship wheels, I ship stock wheels back, they credit me $650. So $1350 total. Not a bad deal. Super professional and arrived at my house in less than 2 weeks.

Hope it works out for ya. My dealer could put them in the computer but told me that it would never get built. My production got bumped up past another guy at my dealer who was waiting on beadlocks.
