I can only hope the wheels come in before christmas.
Rick confirmed the orders were all changed to my request of gold, instead of matte black. superawmikeeey's order was also confirmed being correct.
Work had told Rick we would be getting the wheels around the Thanksgiving holidays or right after.
However nothing arrived. Rick is now trying to get a an actual precise ETA.
So this is where this saga stands at for this moment......

Did Albert tell you of all the facts?
I've been more than lenient with him,as the customer comes first and I always want to make sure they are happy.
On 12/24; he ordered 19x9.5+24// and 19x10.5+23 Meisters.
I shipped him loaner wheels[Mind you 2000 dollars out of my own pocket] since Work had notified they would run a bit slow on the production of the wheels; (Currently (akin to today) as VSXX's are on 3-4 month production backorder from Japan).....
He then liked the way the way the 18's sat on his car and drove without the roughness of 19's...So then I notified Work that he wanted 18's..Then he said he wanted a hammered gold finish instead of being the satin black....
A few weeks went by and he wanted to switch the fitment on the 18's he had ordered. Initially he ordered 18x9.5+24// 18x10.5+23- He wanted to do +12 (18x9.5+12//18x10.5+12)-Just like the Gram lights I had shipped him as a loaner set to rock so he'd have some fresh kicks to use for the time being....
Now right there- how many changes are those in the production of wheels
(19's to 18's- One swap; switching colors that's a 2nd swap; offset that's a 3rd swap)...
I was then notified by him that he wanted a Stoptech BBK for his vehicle. I then needed to switch the low disk wheels to a mid disk application for the front.Once the barrels are cut if its over a +/- 5 ET difference Work will not modifiy the existing set (rather use a whole new face/barrel).....
I gave him a nice generous price on it(the BBK) since he had been patient with the order of the wheels; and feel free to ask him how fast I shipped it out to him...As Stoptech is a North American Company where I can receive the parts in a timely manner to send out)
He made a total of 4 orders if you add each a la carte...
Coupled with the production time//and delays of the manufacturing of wheels, There you get your 11 months.

I ordered my Work T1s wheels back in Feb 2010. I still have not received them or gotten any kind of update. Since July he has told me the same thing, " they are on a shipment, let me find out which one and I will call you back." I am still waiting on a call back with the exact shipment of my wheels. And everytime you call either no one picks up, he is not there and the worst part is you can't even leave a message.

I think Wayneside ordered 3 sets of wheels from Rick... he's received 2 already, still waiting on one.
I hope you guys get your wheels soon.
