GM controls the actual number of any limited supply items down to dealer level. It is called Contrained Allocation. In this case GM know's that they have only so many sets of wheels available in the supply line for that production week so they limit what can be ordered to match what they are being supplied. It is a constant push/pull deal between GM and suppliers trying to keep up with a "just in time" parts process.

Constraints Possibly Adding Months to Delivery?
I just spoke to my dealer and he tried to convince me to forego the 2 constrained items on my order - the G90 Perf. axle and the polished wheels. The wheels you can always get later, but the axle is a different story. He said it could add "MONTHS" to my delivery. YIKES! He is definitely putting the fear of God in me. Could this be the case?
