Question/Help for Work Wheels Owners

aszyd

We can start a discussion if you would like. Ignoring all of the other factors, such as common practice to use a single hub size and your reseller being incorrect...

I find it interesting that the wait time for these wheels is so long and yet they are still manufactured with a generic hub size. Why? If the wheels are made to order, and the forged blanks are CNC'ed to the correct shape, why can they not just input the proper hub size before the cutting starts? Why would that take any longer to produce than a standard wheel with their generic hub? If the wheels are generic, then why does it take a month to build them? Are Work that back logged with orders that they have a wait list? Do they outsource all aspects of production and that's what causes the wait time?

This applies to more than just Work. I am waiting on a set of rims from an American manuf. with a promised 6 to 8 week build time. I've got the tracking numbers now, so it looks like the entire process will have taken 8 weeks from order submittal, to arrival at my house. That being said, these are full custom from color to offset. If someone is ordering off of a spec sheet, like Work's, I would think it would be quite easy to slap together a set of wheels.
