I've been waiting close to a month now for the rims to show up at my builder's place. I'm getting impatient. 24/28 hole, in black, so nothing special. Has anyone received a shipment recently from the new FL location?

I got some a couple of days ago, but they came from MI.

Sounds like silver is a week or two out. No info on black.

I just got a couple 28's in black. I'm also waiting on a 24 in black - was told they should be here by the end of this week.

New decal looks pretty cool, by the way. Black background, a little more subtle than the old white one.

One(and only?)distribution facility is in MI. Australia production is shuttered and moved to FL(Jacksonville?). Could be a lag in availability of certain rim configurations due to change over.

Month of so ago had a little trouble finding 32/32 silver anodized since i was spec'g Australian built. Didn't want to be lab rat for new production facility.

Has anyone who gets regular shipments of A23s noticed better or worse quality in recent shipments. Not sure if there is a way to distinguish manufacturing location on the rim.

Probably going to go this route soon for 24/28 since H+Son archetypes aren't accessible via my lbs.
