hang in there Jjaden!!  |
Even from a reputable vendor, The Volks I ordered for my Mazdaspeed3 had to be built and then shipped from Japan to California, then to Pennsylvania. Total time was around 15 weeks.
I can't imagine how any vendor could possibly stock each style of wheel in every combination of colour option, diameter, width and offset, not to mention lug patterns! When I order something that's a more expensive and exclusive item, I don't expect it to be in stock. If it was readily available, everyone would be sporting it.
Food for thought.

This should cause the center cap to blend into the wheel more, which is the effect I am going for.
What do you guys think about the end result?

Centre caps look awesome!
