Hopefully the link works:

RAYS CO., LTD.

I'm actually waiting for JRP (Johnston Research and Performance) to get back to me about some Rays valve stems for mine right now.

Hey Redshift,

Thanks for your reply. I am also in the process of waiting to hear back from JRP.

Have you heard back from anyone at JRP yet?

I actually heard back initially pretty quickly, but they needed a bit more info on which ones they needed. Haven't heard back since I sent that. (Which to be fair was only Wednesday night.)

JRP is the importer for Rays wheels in Canada. Anyone in Canada that sells Rays gets them from JRP as they get them from Mackin Industries if I'm not mistaken.

Sometimes it takes a bitch long time to get things like valve stems or center caps.

Boeuf,

Yes, Mackin Industries supplies JRP and various others. I asked Mackin for a set of Ray's and they said ok NP, minimum 60 sets per order LOL! But they were very helpfull in pointing me in the right direction with Canadian outfits.

I ended up shopping with Nengun but still awaiting shipment of my order.

I had a set of center caps on order a few years ago for a set of TE37 cups I had on my Miata. I must have had then on order for a year and never got them.

That's further than I got. After the initial exchange of information I haven't heard from JRP again. Followed up, but nothing.
I gave up and just installed the wheels with different valve stems.

I'm not knocking JRP. I've dealt with them many times and they have always given great service. As far as the center caps issue they were on back order and they just couldn't get info as to when they would come in.

Oh, well, I'm slightly knocking them. I'm in sales, and understand things get busy, but I will always respond before this much time and a few reminder notes go by.
I tend to buy something small from somebody first to check their service before making bigger purchases. So far not impressed with JRP, so I made my bigger purchases elsewhere.
