Anyone know where to get any of these? It seems there has been a run on them and they're backordered everywhere! My local Four Wheel parts has the next shipment not coming in till the middle of February! That SUCKS!! I can't have my truck lifted riding around on Pizza cutters for a month, but really don't want to pick another wheel! I'm looking for 18x9 or 18x9.5, I don't remember which they have. Oh well, maybe it will be good for me, my mechanic is telling me I need to drive it for a month to make sure it's not a lemon before I go and put all my goodies on it. I hate being impatient! Let me know if anyone knows of a place that might have them in a warehouse somewhere.

Jdugie,

I've seen the Spy's, I'm just not that big of a fan of the black and aluminum look for what I'm going for. I was afraid of that. I might get a different wheel if they're becoming that popular. I really like them, but I usually like to have something a little different than what everyone else is rollin around on. I'm debating on getting the new Revolver wheel they have coming out, it's pretty sweet too! If only they made the Badland in black, I'd be set!

you could always get the badlands and then take them to get powder coated black or what i was thinking about doing to my welds and get them black chromed that would look bad ass

I just ordered 20" black Hoss's myself and my supplier is not expecting them in until 2/15 as well. I checked around and it seems to be that way with everybody right now...

THought about powdercoating the Badlands, but they want almost as much per wheel to powder coat them as the wheel itself costs!! I'm going to check another powdercoater tomorrow and see if I get a better deal. It's just frustrating. I also don't want to be rolling around an every other truck you see has your wheels on it. Who knows??

If 4 wheel parts doesn't have them, nobody is going to have. I work for um and that's how it usualy goes. It's that time of year and everyone is buying rims, just gotta wait for them to get made. I would sugest the knight chrome line up they have, looks really good on the trucks. We've had 2 set's outta our store, if you wanna be unique, nobody has those knight chrome's.

Fire,

I WISH! I called another powdercoater today and they want $125 per wheel and $56/hour to strip them before they powder coat them. I was just going to buy a set of Badlands and have them powdercoated black, but by the time you pay that fee, you're doubling the cost of the wheels themselves! I'll just have to wait it out I guess.

If you interested in powedercaoting, I had a guy in Centralia, IL do all my lift stuff on my 2001 GMC, and he will be doing my wheels soon. I know he won't be that much. He did a set of 15x10 in gloss black for like 250 for set. Sent you a PM also.

There's a guy selling KMC XD's Hoss's Black, and I believe the Badlands in 18,20,22 inches on Ebay. Looked at them yesterday, says he has 20 in stock. Might want to check that out. Chris

Thanks for the heads up. He's a little high on the price, but we'll see if he has them in stock. I have a feeling he's like everyone else and he's waiting for the next shipment in the middle of February. If he has them now, I'll pay the extra for the shipping, but he's gotta match the price. My boy at 4Wheel Parts hooked it up for $639 for a set of four, but I have to wait, I'll pay the extra $155 shipping to not have to wait, but I'm not paying shipping plus an extra $160 more for the wheels too! I'll just wait the couple weeks for Four Wheel parts to get them and not have to worry about Fed Ex damaging them. Thanks for the heads up, I'll let you know how it turns out.

I WISH THEY MADE BADLANDS IN BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

I'm getting either the HOSS's in chrome or the MACE's from AR. Can't decide yet. I want to wait until the spring anyways, too much salt and rocks on the road around here right now. Good luck, Chris
