Firehawk Wheels

Anyone have any information on if OER is actually doing a batch run on the 17x9.5 Firehawk wheels?

A lot of the websites say not in stock but Classic Industries has them listed as “Arriving Soon”. I have indicated with a vendor that I would like to place an order for these but I’m waiting for final billing response to see how this comes out...

Re: Firehawk Wheels

It's been back order with no ETA for a while! If you are really interested in this wheel style, you should consider the Hawk's 18X10 reproduction instead.

Re: Firehawk Wheels

Wow, that's two years! It's kind of like they just need to admit it's out of production.

Re: Firehawk Wheels

I have had a set on order since April 2019. Every time I inquire about my order, I get told they are on long term back order with no ETA.

Probably not, but where he is located, he'll either have to lower the price or ship them....maybe both, to get rid of them.

I've been waiting over 2 years - Classic keeps saying they dont know when - I see some talk on the FB groups they are coming soon but I think that is all speculation and hope - never seen a wheel in such high demand
IMO, Brue really missed it when he went with 18" repos - big mistake
