Now excuse my little segue, but...look, we all get it, you are very very aggressive with Forged Specialties wheels. Yes, they look pretty good, VERY good in some cases, and they're having a month-long turnaround or aroundish that. Great, whoo hoo.

But this kind of attitude - calling out other vendors, interjecting your own product in unrelated threads, etc. - towards other vendors is not respectful and completely out of line.

Some may appreciate only the end product, but to me, respect is just as important in a sale as a good product, and I would rather take my business elsewhere than go to someone who drags their competition's name in the mud to make themselves look golden.

For those in wait like Baer383 - I feel for you, really, especially since your car is up on stands. It sucks to be waiting that long with little to no information, but Rick has been a good vendor in the past, I don't see how that changed now.

Like others have said, remember the vendor is here, but the supplier is in Japan. Unless you want to pay a LOT of money to air ship it, the wheels will go into a container and make its way out here slowly. Three months is not completely out of the question. You've asked Jamaica@UAMotorsports for help and he's trying to do so, and Rick has already replied to this thread once. Be patient, you'll get what you want. One thing maybe you could've done in hindsight is keep your stock wheels until the new ones came in, then put them up for sale.
