**Update**

Well it looks like I had the luck of ordering 19" R16's that due to a "blank forging shortage" 12 weeks later my wheels haven't even been forged....Im still waiting to see what DPE is going to do to resolve this issue and will give another update once I have a resolution........This is mindboggling an order that was suppose to take 4-6 weeks total is going to likely end up taking 3 times as long....

Had mine installed yesterday! Original estimate from DPE was 6-8 weeks, it took 9. Worth the wait, they look great and the new Toyo T1-Rs feel great. While I was at DPE yesterday Creative Autoworks called Ryan (one of the owners of DPE) to check-up some orders. They are very committed on getting high quality rims out to you guys as quickly as possible. Hang in there, the weeks of waiting melt away as you see you ride lowered down off the lift with the new shoes.

BTW, I saw a couple of new designs while I was there yesterday that looked great. I'm not sure if Creative Autoworks has posted pics of these yet or not?

Yup, they look great. They remind me a little of Volk SF Winning but with a bigger lip. The display had them without rivits, looked very clean. I'm not sure but I think you can get any DPE wheel with rivets or without.

What did the other 2 new designs look similar to?

Ryan mentioned that they were working on a set for a G35 guy. Must have been you. He also mentioned this style was popular with the Porsche guys and that they're mostly getting them without rivets. (But, it's good to be a little different, right? That's one reason I went with R06 instead of the R07s )

One other design. The other set reminded me of Ed Lin's wheels (Ed hope you don't mind me posting a pic I snagged from Team Transport's site.) Kind of like the pic below but with flat spokes (see how Ed's have kind of an outward curve to them). Ryan said they were a part of there new luxury series.

Yeah, it's me. I'm just waiting to hear from James @ Creative, some assurance he's got me the right offsets coming to fit flush with 255/285/20 Falken GRBs and some kind of expected delivery.

I just had DPE handle my offsets so I don't even know what they are, but mine look perfectly flush.
