Reply to "3 Months and no GT5 Wheels ??"

A manufacturer like Boyd will have a minimum order size, or "run" to make the parts, in order for him to make the profit he expects. On special orders or slow movers, he will not stock them on the shelf, he makes them & ships them. It costs the manufacturer so much money to purchase the materials, fire up the machinery, and pay the personel to make the wheels regardless of the size of the production run, so he must have a minimum order. Anything above that minimum run is just additional profit.

The manufacturer can take orders & wait to accumulate orders totaling his minimum run from several vendors, or he can place the burden on the vendor to meet the minimum order size.

If the burden is placed on the vendor to meet that minimum order size, a vendor has 2 choices, he waits until he has enough customer orders to break even on the order he places with the manufacturer (which will be dependent upon his mark up), or he combines his order with another vendor to reach the manufacturer's minimum run requirement. The idea here is that a vendor is not going to spend more money buying the wheels from the manufacturer than what he has made in sales. If he did, he'd go broke real fast.

This is what you are up against.
