If I had a pallet delivered to me, any savings from a group buy would be consumed by reshipping the wheels to the individuals.
It may be something I run by her again out of curiosity, but the reality is they are a large manufacturer that focuses on business to business sales, and us as individuals probably wouldn't equate to 0.5% of their revenue, so we're lucky to get any attention at all, much less special attention. The last thing is that these wheels are +/- $250 each (depending on design, specs and paint), which includes shipping. That is a custom cut t6061 forged wheel shipped to your door for $250... It's already a ridiculously low price.
