OK - this isn't asking about tech advice, more of just ranting, so hoping it's in the right place.

Can anyone tell me why 2 wheels, same size and specs, same manufacturer, same model number, from the same retailer, with different bolt patterns, are different prices? The 5x5 bolt pattern is $107.38 each and the 6x5.5 is $188.35. I know it's likely that they'll sell fewer of our bolt patterns, but if the center of the wheel is likely the same, isn't it really just different drilling?

They are probably both built on the same line, and the supply from the mfg should likely be closely matched to their sales. So, WTF?

Just a heads up our trucks use a 6x5 bolt pattern and full size chevys use a 6x5.5 pattern. However you can get adapters to use the FSC wheels on our 360s.
