Default CCW 18in group buy??

Anybody know people at CCW? Could we find out how many sets we would need to purchase to get them to make 18in wheels? If we could come up with buyers for say 10-20 sets of the 505A's would it be possible? If we all paid up front to help offset the cost of making the molds (or whatever they call them) How many would we need to order to make that happen? Is it even possible?

Just a thought, I am getting desperate for some 18in wheels

thanks

Pete

I talked to John at CCW when I was in Daytona for Turkey Run. He told me that they would have to retool thier mach. & some other stuff that was over my head, but if would cost him in the 300K range to be able to offer 18". I have a set of 19" and love'em
