I agree with you Dennis, not smart for the racers, but USLCi will make a sh1tload of money on them because you know guys are going to have to have the lighter wheels, so you and USLC will sell a ton of them I bet.
Sad part is, the Cost from Bassett to USLCi isn't changing, they're just charging even more over Bassett's list price to line their pockets.
The regular wheels that USLC was selling for $72.99 sells for full retail through Bassett for $66.10.
I know exactly what the profit margin is, being a Bassett dealer...they don't need to sell them for $6.89 per wheel OVER full retail...now they're adding another $7.00 per wheel when the cost did NOT go up.
Sad thing is, I would bet I could sell USLCi dealers Bassett wheels cheaper than USLCi does, but that's out the window now, as they only supply enough stickers to Bassett to equal their order.
Guess I will be getting out of the wheel business...or maybe not.
