Cool Anyone still waiting on their Volks?

I orderd my Volks almost 4 months ago and I am still waiting. Anyone know if I'm getting the run around? My neighbor owns a tire shop (Big O), I ordered through him, and he says Rays waits until they have a big enough U.S. order to ship across the Pacific. I ordered the 19" 9's and 10.5's SF Challenge Sparkle Silver's. Anyone know if these can be found anywhere in the U.S. in stock and ready to ship?

Also, I need to order rubber! Whats the biggest tire I can run? Any recommendations on good performance tires with an aggressive tread pattern?

Thanks in advance!

CJ

depending on what wheels you ordered... the SF challenge in 9.5 and 10.5 are hard ones to find in stock... what did you order?

i'm pretty sure that's what happens. when i ordered my volks, it was the same thing. also, cuz i went w/ an aggressive offset (the most they could give at least)...so it took 4-5 months. don't worry. you'll be happy once they come in. i wasn't...but inside i was all giddy. hehe.

Good things come to those who wait. I waited 8 months for mine (GT-V), but I ordered them before they were release to the public. Macken Ind showed me a pic of new rims and had to show them on Sema first. Rays usually waits to do a big order but its all the worth waiting for your rims from Rays. It all depends who u deal with. What kind of rubber u gonna put on them? Might wana check were your friend gets the rims through.
