Warning, Rant:
after placing and order in december still not sign of my wheels, feel like im just getting jerked around now. have been told they should be here last monday, then it was tuesday, then friday i was told that definitely today i should get a call when they will be shipping out to me. well no call, now I call them and after a 15min. hold, i am told they didnt make it on the last container and will definitely be on the next, still kinda skeptical about that considering i was told that same thing last month. end rant. any one else sick of this shitty wait? 5 months + to get a set of wheels? i sold my last set and currently stuck with no wheels. guess that was my mistake, anyone else feel similarly?

Since the 17X10 +45 isnt a common size I doubt they are stocked in a warehouse in Japan, hence why they have to be made. If we caught Rays Wheels on an odd time where they werent set up to stamp out a set of CE's then we would have to wait. You could imagine the time it takes to change dies and set up the forge to knock out 2 sets of wheels for us - which is part of the story I am getting from Bulletproof and completely understandable. Who did you order yours through?

I wish I could find these used could have saved tons of money and frustration but the size I need is rare. That being said, I understand the reasons for things taking extra time, but I never imagined waiting 4-6months for a set, and it's especially difficult when the vendor you order through strings you along. If you say, sorry buddy, they won't be here till June, I say okay, let me get some beater wheels and move on from there, but for the past few weeks I was told "hang tight, they are almost here" you can see how I'm frustrated. Biggest dissapointment is this car meet I look forward to every year and have been preparing for, and basically was under the impression I'd have the wheels by the time it comes up. Now that I know it's not gonna happen im just gonna patiently wait, and forget about them. Just thought I'd share this experience, I don't think the vendor is all to blame, so I'll just have to get over it and move on.

You guys were planning on making it to Honda Day?
It would be nice if they were in the US by the end of the month but I'm not getting my hopes up, that way I'll be thrilled if they show up earlier lol.
In 2004 I waited 144 days for two more LE28Ns to be made in the size I needed. That was torture because I had two wheels with tires and had to wait for the others. Nothing like staring at wheels you can't use for weeks at a time.
I've contemplated getting some dumpy wheels for the time being too but I'll just wait. I drive my S once every two weeks anyway haha.

I'd love to shoot your NFR sometime too, do a rig shot or two of it. Maybe some video footage too.

Yeah no honda day for my S either. I think the concave ce party is a must sometime in the summer, just got my canon t2i with wide angle lens a few weeks back, would love to get a nice shoot. And I'll just focus on school for now and forget about driving the S:-(
