Thanks for all of your compliments. =)
It does still look a little high for me, especially the rear - but since I drive about 80 miles a day, and it's my daily driver, I have to be practical too. =P
I'm gonna lower the rear just a bit to match the front.
Yeah, I was expecting to get them in 6 months too, but fortunately, I got mine in 3 months...

It all depends where you get them. Some shops have em in stock, some dont. I got my Volks from Andy@Performance and they were at my house about 5 days later

Granted, Performance Nissan is one of Mackin's leading vendors, but they would not have gotten these faster than 3-4 moths top.
5 days for CE28N 19 X 8.5 +35 titanium gunmetal... completely unheard of.
5+ moths on the other hand, is longer than should be... anyway - I sit and wait… I have no idea why the vendor I went through takes longer than industry norm but if they don’t come through; they will be scorched on the forums and through friends… I’m counting on them to make this happen – if not, it will be an interesting battle since the wheels have been 100% paid for since Feb 2, 2008 (and funding on my end has been on notice).
My vendor will shine or fail based on this order… the car has a bunch of unique, one of a kind stuff – show-n-tell pending these wheels…

In fact, I've slammed it (as well as had my SPC camber kits installed, corner balancing and 4-wheel alignment done) last week at Precision Z in Canoga Park, and it looks great. I will post some pics soon - I'm trying to get my friend with his DSLR camera to help me take some nice pics of my baby! =)

To answer your questions Wil:
1. Nope. I didn't manage to have the sensors removed from the stock wheels and transferred over to my new rims - but what I was told, the sensors would not be able to fit in these particular rims. (If that is completely untrue, can someone tell me? I would love to have the TMPS back in. The light is currently on.)
2. I do feel that there is more grip and I do feel a little bit of a resistance. Keep in mind that I've also replaced my stock front camber arms to the SPC front camber arms. The stock arms I believe are much lighter.
