Default Wait for wheels is KILLER

It's ONLY been 2 weeks since the order has been placed for my new wheels.

The worst part is continuous waiting, thinking about them and a given ETA of 2-3 months from Japan.... **** i can't wait! This feeling is horrible!..I'm trying my best to be patient, hahaha.

My previous Volk rims only took a month...But selling those, putting the stockers back on and waiting for the new STUNNING **** is complete torture!

So how many of you are suffering along with me?

What wheels did you order? I waited 3 months for my Volks, but it was sooooo worth it in the end. I wish I would have gotten rims sooner, it completely changed the appearance of my car.

I'm gonna miss my stock rims... I think they look nice too. Just a totally different look, but still nice for coming with the car.

Yeah I'm waiting too. Every day is longer than the last =\

I can understand the kind of feeling..
Think about me, living in Italy. You lucky americans you can order your wheels and mount them without doing anything else, here we must take the car at the motorization to make it checked. Usually, the don't even accept it, like mine ONE YEAR AGO.
Now I had my Volks mounted but I've not received that fu*** authorization yet.

However, I was lucky: a shop in CA had the wheels I was looking for and shipped them to me in a week.

I actually like the waiting part. It makes you appreciate the item more. And it makes you temporarily happy longer. Once I get the item, the temporary happiness doesn't last long.

That just happened to me a couple of months ago. I ordered some Axis milano, delayed 2 weeks, because "customs have them" no biggie. Went to check on them, another 2 weeks later "they're on the way from Japan"...sssssssso they were here in the states and you sent them back? All in all I waited 2 whole f'ng months, so I gave up on them and bought some HP Design wheels, had them on my car the same week.

Took 3.5 months to get my 19" PIAA Super Rozza's, but well worth the wait.

Sorry to hear Sixto. I told you to keep your Volks. BTW, I sold my 5Zigen or I'd let you borrow them. They woulda looked good on a PPW.
