Mackin is ******* with me

I am old, but it is my first time doing special order. I have heard the stories but only experiencing it now

All previous wheel orders were in stock, which is more or less instant gratification.

Even a hood i got special order from some tiny company in japan only took like 2-3 months iirc

last week i found a dude on instagram that had the 19 inch Te37 Ultra in matte black, and apparently Mackin is actually STOCKING that color in 19 inch but not in 20. That caught my attention as well

Add to that the fact that I wanted these in "M spec" without the machined lip, but was told that required something massive like 10 (or more?) sets to be ordered before they could be produced.

I thought older people are more patient. I know I am.

im 67 and I would never order something and wait 5 months, id do something else, I waited 4 months for my FI, what a waste of time, thought I was smarter than that.
