9 month so far for a set of Gold TE37 in 17x7.5 (48) and 17x9 (65).

Since I am sick and tired of waiting, I pulled the plug last week and opted for an in-stock set of Bronze CE28.
Not really surprised, it seems Volk takes FOREVER with their orders, i have yet to see Work, Advan, etc. take nearly as long. A friend of mine waited 8 months for his LE37s.

Yup I've been waiting on a JDM HONDA part for my car for over a month now and it's the only thing holding me back from taking my car in for paint. I did wait about 4-5 months on my J's Racing order though but it will be well worth it in the end.

I dunno ... I waited 3 months for a set of custom Works ... when I asked about them, the supplier said they would be here in just a few more months ... whoopdie doo! So now I'm waiting for another set of wheels

9 months?! i just order the same wheels and i was told 2-3 months but could be up to 5, but most likely 3 months. i am going to go crazy if i have to wait 9 months. i guess i will powder coat my stock rims while i wait. i have to have these rims so i will have to wait.

i can honestly say ive never waited more than a week for any JDM parts. Whenever Ive wanted something I shop around till i find someone with it in stock - or someone that can pull some strings. I guess ive just got lucky and always caught the shops at the right time. The JDM waiting game is one i refuse to play.

I was told the exactly same thing. I laid down the cash on july 07, 2006 and still no rims. Where did you placed the order?

You must know that its completely RAY / MACKIN IND. fault

These imbeciles have complete and absolute disregard for customer satisfaction, and make the retailer look bad.

either pay a little more through someone that has it in stock, or pay for air freight, only way to get it.

or just sit and play the waiting game

In my case, after 9 month of waiting, it seems Volk has not even made the rims yet So air freight would'nt helped much.
