The wheels that I won are now on back order and it'll be AT LEAST 30 days until I see them. I was offered another set of wheels, but they're so much heavier and not that great looking IMO.

Well, I'm getting my car dropped with Progress springs and Ingalls F&R camber kit either March 1st or the 8th. Then, it's a good 3 weeks AFTER that when my wheels arrive.

I hate having to wait.

I was offered the Pro-N1's since they're out of stock of the other.

..but they're too heavy and don't look all that great IMO. (Not in black anyway.)

How much do they cost normally?

About $200 a wheel. (That's from a few sites I found on the net when trying to find out for my own.)

You think that is bad you have another thing coming. I had to wait 2 months for my SSR GT3's, then i had to wait 3 months for my gun metal ce28s. Now im in the middle of another 3 months waiting for my TE37s. Thats what i call waiting.

WAITING DEFINITELY SUCKS!! I ordered Ichibahn pedals, dead pedal, e-brake handle and shift knob the 1st week of November. I got everything but the shift knob 3 weeks later. And I still have not received it yet. I called them yesterday and they said it was loading onto the UPS truck as we were speaking. For you guys in California, was the Longshoremen strike pretty extensive? That was supposedly the cause for my waiting. The Ichibahn shipment was sitting in some port, JUST WAITING!! Sorry for my rant, Steve, I definitely know how you feel. I am supposed to receive it by end of next week. We'll see.

I ordered it from Planet Performance.com btw. Were great until this shit.

Tell me about it! I ordered some gun metal rota slips from pacific performance and they told me three days on friday. Monday comes and I call to see if it arrived and some chick tells me they should be in tomorrow, so come tuesday I just head up there. I speak to the man this time and he tells me they are on back order so it's gonna take two to three weeks to get here.:mad: I think I speak for everyone on this post when I say back orders can kiss my fuc$#ng a#@! Thanks good post I needed to vent.
