biggest problem with a lot of these shops (especially ones run by kids) is they're too small and dont have much leverage to do anything especially internationally due to lack of experience, lack of face (no one knows them). also the forwarders and services some of them use are crap to begin with and they make YOU feel like you're a burden to them while it's the other way around.

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.

I sanded down the silver lip and painted them Matte Black to match the TE37's.

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!
