Thanks!!! I got them from http://wheelfire.com

They have very good pricing. I talked to a guy named Joe on the phone. He was a pretty nice guy. He told me that I should have them in 5 to 7 business days.

That's probably the best online wheel wholesaler I've seen so far.

Me too!!! I found them on accident. LOL I was looking for another wheel and I did a search for it on yahoo, and I found their website. The wheel I was originally going to get was out of stock, the RPM 504. They had the 504, just not the particular one I wanted. So, I got these. They look pretty much the same, so I got them. :-)

Ok, so tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I ordered my wheels, and I still don't have them. So much for 5-7 days. I emailed them last week to check the status of my order, and the response I got was, they will be here next Tuesday and we will ship them out then. They had to order them from the warehouse in California, which they didn't tell me about when I ordered them. Anyway, Tuesday rolls around and I didn't get any email saying they were shipped, so I sent them another email yesterday. The response I got was, they showed up yesterday (tuesday) and will be shipped out today(wednesday). Ok, fine. Still never received an email yesterday saying they were shipped. I email them today, the response I just got, They are in boxes and being shipped out today, no ifs ands or butts about it. So, I won't have them for the show this weekend. I replied back telling them how unhappy I was about it. I haven't heard back from them yet. If they would have told me it was gonna take this long to begin with, I wouldn't be upset, but they told me 5-7 business days and I would have them.

That sucks Mike.. That happened to me when I ordered mine last year. They said it would be delivered in 7 business days. I actually waited like 10 business days before I contacted them. They told me the wheel was on back order for about 3 months. I was pretty upset but I waited it out. They actually showed up about a month later.

Yes it does suck, but I know there's not really anything I can do but wait. Oh well. LOL I'm more upset that they kept telling me a different story every time I talked to them then anything. That's not a very good way to conduct business.

Well, I finally got the email with the shipping info. It says they have been picked up from the wheel place by FedEx and have a delivery date of March 18th.

I checked out this website & they definantly have great pricing. I'm just scared after hearing what you had to go through. The wheels I want are on backorder with Tenzo, & I don't want to end up waiting 3 months for them.

I can understand that. The guy told me that if they didn't have to order the wheels from another warehouse, I would have had them within the 5-7 days, but they had to order mine from the warehouse in California, that's why it took so long. If you do call them, ask for Joe, he was pretty cool with me. The guy I had trouble with was one of their customer service people and I just spoke with him through email.

I have a couple pics of the wheels. I set one of them against the car just to see what they would look like. I didn't want to go through all the trouble of taking the stock wheel off and putting the new one on just to have to take it back off again. LOL So, here you go......

UPDATE 2:

I got the 4th wheel today. I would have had it yesterday, but I didn't have anyone to be there to sign for it. I'm gonna put them on tonight when I get off work, and I'll post pics tomorrow. :-)
