I am proud to bring news that we have reached a solution to our wheel supply challenges of the past year and a half. As of this morning, we have received full inventory of all wheels including our new 18" Halibrand replica wheels. The solution to these problems involved hard work from a lot of people at Factory Five and some great new partner companies.
I want to say thank you to the customers who were so patient and kind through this very difficult challenge.

We will be inspecting, packaging, and shipping wheels through the end of next week beginning with the oldest orders first.

We will also be contacting current orders who we have on a waiting list (and who have not been asked to pay any money) over the next five days.

One of the ways that we finally solved this situation was to invest a large amount of money in inventory that would earn us a place with a major tier 1 supplier/foundry to Ford Motor Company.

As part of the resolution, I didn't want to simply restock wheels. I wanted to retool and also launch some new wheel designs. The 18" Halibrand is now in production and comes in a 11" rear rim and a 9" front rim with soft radiuses and enough backspace to make what I think is one of the most beautiful wheels sold. The 18s are standard on our limited edition run of 20 anniversary cars and they are in stock.
We are now in stock and selling the following wheels:
15" Halibrand Style Wheels (8" front and 9" rear)
17" Halibrand Style Wheels (9" fronts and 9" or 10.5" rears)
18" Halibrand Style Wheels (9" front and 11" rear)
'33 Bonneville Style Wheels - 18"x8" front and 20"x11" rear in black and gray
818 Sports Car Wheels - 17"x7.5" front and 18"x8.5" rear in black and gray
We are in stock on GTM wheels as well, and will soon be selling 19" front and 20" rears.
