Trust me guys, over the top frustrated. Even looked into MANY options to get the car out and running w/ different wheels such as Mikes stock M45 19's, or Pengs. problem is they won't fit over my sport Akebono calipers.

That sucks, Lance. I suppose the earthquake didn't help matters. Why is it so hard to make wheels and ship them? This is the 21st century.

Apparently they were out of the front disk size I ordered (R-DISK) so they had to produce more. And then the finish I ordered (WORK BLACK CHROME) is their specialzed custom finish that takes about 2 weeks to do.

Why did you get rid of your stock wheels before you received your new ones? Just seems like a poor choice, especially when the wheels are coming from Japan.
