Wheel/Tire Combo Shortage....Covid? China?
So my buddy around the corner finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2013 L6 (not the same one I posted about the other day...found a different one he liked better). I rode with him up to Fort Worth and back yesterday (8 hours round trip) to pick it up. I think he got a hell of a deal compared to what he would have paid any of the local cart shops.
3 month old batteries, Kenwood bluetooth head unit with 4 speakers, each with built-in amps and directional tweeters, only 118 hours on the cart total. He paid $8k. Probably at least $3k less than anything else comparable I've seen in Houston. Anyway, after all this, I'm getting really impatient on my build, and started looking more seriously at ordering wheels/tires/lift, etc.....only to find that pretty much all the wheels and tires I had been eying are ALL out of stock. Is it because of Covid? Everyone is stuck at home, looking for things to do and buying all the inventory up? Trump/China tariffs? Or is this just normal for springtime? I've talked to a few of the local cart builders around here, and they are all having a hard time keeping up with demand, as well as getting parts, and even getting base carts to build up for customers. Maybe the suburban golf cart cruiser trend in Houston has just reached a peak level.... |

Re: Wheel/Tire Combo Shortage....Covid? China?
it sounds like everyone gets there wheels from the same place (nivel) and they are out of stock on a bunch of stuff...
Im new the the golf cart scene and was amazed at how quickly decently priced carts go for in my area.... Literally anything I found that was clean under $4k sold within days at asking price. |

Have you checked eBay? I’ve been searching and there seems to be plenty on there. There are some websites that have them in stock on eBay but out of stock on their own website.

I've mainly been looking at the Steeleng Pioneer wheel. The wheels are available, but they are out of stock on the 22" Stinger tires and the 23" AT tires.
