Just wondering why you went with the 19" versus the 20"... I also went with the Mesh Venaci in brush but 20"

It was mostly the tires (i don't wanna have to buy 20" tires), but also the extra weight. I didn't want to kill how my car handles.

I have to admit that 8 months to get some wheels that were promised m 3 months is a long time. I guess at the end of the day it falls to how badly you want those wheels. I was fortunate to get my Work T1Ss in less than 3 months. Maybe its the Venacis. They seem to be in high demand on this forum.

Thank you all for the input. I have thought many times about canceling the order, but then I will not have a new set of wheels and will have to start the process all over again. I just don't understand what could possibly take 8+ months to make a wheels, ship it, and deliver it. The worst part is that I have paid in full already for the wheels, tires, lugs, and camber kit. I was supposed to receive a PM or call on Thursday with an update. Not surprised I didn't get one because in the ~8 months of dealing with Rick I have never received a call back when promised one...
Anyway, enough of my sob story. Let's see some more pics of these awesome wheels!

It can be a real PIA to get something from Japan. From personal experience I can tell you of the following issues that can arise:
-The company needs to wait until the container is full enough to ship -Ocean time for going across the Pacific -Delays at the port for unload/customs -Delays at port for accessing the container -Delays with sorting through the container contents You will get your wheels like Jamaica said, just be patient, everyone has to go through the same thing when ordering straight from Japan and not overnighting the parts. |

Other then what Waizzz said
Most people don't understand that most company don't just make 1 set of wheels at a time.We give you eta that japan give us. 1.You can look at most of the wheels that is custom made in japan or oversea right now and see that long it take to make Volk or SSR or Works, 90-up. Why? Do you think when you order 1 set like 4 wheels.They are going to stop the whole warehouse and make 1 set just for you first? No! Everyone get's in line.We try to push the eta for everyone as fast as i can. U.S custom hold every shipment longer so they can add more $$ each day. No one want to pay $800.00 more for air shipping,so ocean shipping is the way,we have no control over that.Some times the eta is off.But if your in the shipping business then you may understand.But i'm not going to get into it. And some of you that said it takes 8 month,why don't you ask yourself how many free parts that we have given you,for your lost of time.That came of of our packet not japan. Parts,replacing new parts for you cause fedex didn't want to take care of it. We just paid $1300.00 on top of the wheels/parts cost and air shipping just to show you that we took care of you.People never think about those things! But we do it to show we still take care of you! Now a days, it's not like shop are make like 25%-50% on parts.We make Just too keep the door's open.As most of you know the automotive industry is having a hard times in this economy.But we are still working hard in keeping the door's open for people that loves aftermarket! It's not like we just make the parts it in back of my house! Think about these things, We have been here on my350z.com/g35driver.com,since May 2005 THAT'S 5 YEARS! The370Z.com from almost day 1. And we are still here! Do you know how many people that was here on Forums and now are close! Many! Some of you here didn't even own a Z yet at that time. We are a full retail shop not some on line company selling parts.Some people selling parts on forums are selling parts from there house,with no overhead. And right now with U.S $$ droping to the japan yen.We didn't ask people for more $$. We're trying our best to keep things going and making everyone happy.Why no one ever post the things we have done for you? Ask "jamaica951" i even let him use my wheels cause he didn't have wheels. Fedex killed Kevin's wheels when they shipped it,guess who had to pay out on my pocket to get new wheels me! Fedex killed another 2 wheels going to AUS,guess who had to pay for that and shipping! me! Just alittle from my side.lol Thank you and love you all rick@ status Quote:
