Mackin is ******* with me
Mackin Industries, US distributor for Rays, Advan, etc are some cruel mofos.
Back in May, I ordered a set of TE37 ultras in optional Matte Black. It's not stocked, so 5 month wait is the estimate. No worries. September, they send my retailer these:  Yup, JUST the center caps Today, they sent my retailer this:  Just the rears. Just the rears. Now I gotta wait another week before this:  (This full set picture is from Bulletproof Auto, posted on GTRLIFE) My set will be 20x11, +15 and 20x12, +20, Face-4 Last edited by OptionZero; 10-25-2016 at 01:21 AM. |

It may have taken a while but you have the product, yes?
As long as they didn't give you the run around, mission accomplished

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. |

if anyone is expecting any wheels (prolly any part) from Japan, add another week or so to your wait.
My retailer just talked to Mackin, no container at dock as of Friday and everyone's going to SEMA next week. Will also affect SSR (More-Japan) and i'm gonna guess anyone in the industry. |
