damn dude... where did you order them from? If you ordered them from a stateside distributer, it shouldnt take more than... what.. like 14 business days or something like that?

You better get on the phone or something.

Discount tires told me a minumum of 90 days for these rims. The volk te37s have always been backordered since I have been buying them. You can get them in 14 days from japan new?? Please do tell so if I order another set I dont have to wait 90 plus days. In 6 lug too por favor.

oh, so you ordered them from Discount Tire? I'd call them up man... 100 days is a lot.

and thats a negative on the 14 days from Japan, lol. I said stateside, like if the wheels were already here. I was just saying shipping in general should usually take like 14 business days, 1 month tops.

good luck bro.

My buddy had issues with Discount tire (or at least I think it was discount tire). iirc, he ordered some ssr center caps like last year (October), and if it wasn't for me asking if he wanted to sell them, he woulda forgot that they never even came in.

I ordered the bronze ones for my sw20 back in 04. 90 days from pan motors in san diego. The black ones I ordered back in october of last year. Got them in december. I ordered these in November. Discount tires are the ones telling me to be patient. It seems like this place is only source in the US IF they have your size in stock. http://www.mackinindustries.com/contact.html http://s182.photobucket.com/al...imoto/

mackin is the us importer for all rays wheels among a bunch of other companies, you can try to give them a call and see if they have any idea

more than likely the wheels have to be custom made because they probably dont stock te's in armada sizes, and once theyre made theyll get sent over in the next container, so itll depend on when that gets shipped

Longest? Friend ordered low offset TE37s from Mackin directly a couple years back before people knew what low offsets were in the US.. took them over 6 months to arrive (if I remember correctly, I'm inclined to say it might have even been closer to 8 months). AND that was going through his own buddy, too...! Pray it won't take yours that long...

When you order wheels from japan like work and volk, it can seriously take anywhere from 10 days up to a year. I've had buddies order te37s and had to wait 6 months before they even shipped them, awesome sizes though.

Its just the way it works, but whoever you ordered them through, should know the timeline, and if not, you shouldn't be giving them all that money for volks.

and yes it does depend if the wheels are already made or not, or if they are in the states or overseas. It all depends but whoever you pay should know, and if not, get your money back and try someone else.

Ten dayz to a year?? Man thats a long time. This is the second time they gave me a different date too. I bought a set back in the begging of Oct 07 from the same place. I got them a few weeks before christmas 07. I ordered the ones for my Armada on the 5th of November. http://s182.photobucket.com/al...imoto/

Maybe because of the batch...Some companies wait till enough order fills up and run the batch.If you are lucky, you get stuff right away, but if not, you have to wait forever.

Standard special order time for anything that is not stock in the USA is 8-12 weeks. Found this out today when asking Mackin about a specific ITC SD's for a 335i Coupe...
