Did you get it from one of the forum's vendor? Both forum vendor's I talked to told me a 5 month wait. I wish I only have to wait 3 months, post pics when you get them.

when i emailed work cali and gave them my order details and about being told by my seller it would be a 2 month wait and it had now been 3 months and a week, i was told,

"VS-XX typically needs longer delivery time since it's not popular in Japan (being a very old design since 1995), so WORK Japan doesn't stock a lot of raw material in their inventory. I am terribly sorry for the long wait.

The wheels are in stock at our warehouse right now (came in on Dec 31st), please contact ********* at your earliest convenience."

so it took almost exactly 3 months for the wheels to get made and shipped from japan to cali from the date i ordered them... sept 28 - dec 31. im not sure if japan's processing times are different during different times of the year and i just got lucky as mine was a short waiting period or if they are all around the same and everybodys wheels end up sitting in cali's warehouse for a couple of months before the dealer who ordered them is notified. as you can see in the quotes i was told to contact my dealer at my earliest convenience as my wheels were already there and had been there for over a week as i emailed them Jan 9th. i then called my dealer and they said they didnt know the wheels were there so they had to call work cali and arrange shipping. i was told they would be here on the 19th or 20th. maybe if i never jumped in and started asking questions, they would have set in that warehouse a good 2 months.

or just to jump out on a ledge here, maybe some of the dealers do know when the wheels have arrived in cali and just arent motivated to pay the shipping charges to get them since they already got your money months ago and have since spent it and can't pay for the shipping charges....who knows?

the only accurate info i can give is on my personal experience

* 3 months for vsxx's to get from my order date to arrived in cali
* another 3 weeks to get them shipped from cali to me
* would have taken longer (who knows how long) if i hadn't emailed work

my dealer has been fairly cooperative with me...probably because i only paid less than half for the deposit to get the wheels made. im fairly certain they didnt know ,as they told me, that the wheels had already arrived to the states.

so i was able to pick up my rims this morning and took a few quick crappy shots before rushing to the shop to have them mounted.

one thing to notice is that my wheels came with holes predrilled in the barrel for my wheel sensors. something that i have noticed wasn't done for other members here who've ordered vsxx's. i don't know if this is something work just started doing or if it had to do with me telling them the wheels were for a g35 with oem wheel sensors the day i ordered them. when they found out they were for a g35 they called me back later saying that the R disk i originally ordered might not clear the brembos and they suggested i go with the T disk. anyway, here are the quick pics. i'll post more after i have them mounted. specs are 20x9.5 +11 T & 20x10.5 +13 O.
