lol I JUST went and looked at this. Now I really can't decide between RP03s and these. Different looks, both are amazing, but these are lighter and custom size... :dunno:

I forgot to ask him what tires he's using...be right back (PM's Angel)

I posted up pics of Angel's car somewhere, but might be in the wheel/tire section. Sorry guys we've been slammed with Big shipments this week so I haven't been up to date with this. I did update a bit ago that the wheels did all land and are in the machining schedule. I won't have updates honestly until they get through some of the backorders. I will do my best to get an idea of where we fall in the backorder and at what rate they are pumping them out. this is honestly the best I can do.

epik, ya Forgestar is definitely an interesting experience. I've been in the wholesale segment of the wheel industry for about 15 years now and have not had to jump through these kinds of obstacles before. Even when ordering crazy rare stuff from Japan. Usually the process is a lot simpler.

The fact that these wheels are such a great value and continue selling out is but one factor for the delays. Due to the nature of the custom offset and PCD we also have the machining variables to add into lead times. This is something that has been a fuzzy area. The lead times provided aren't necessarily always accurate and there's no followup on their part to update the clients on the progress/delays. I can't wait until they get things all ramped up, more lathes/drill presses or whatever to improve the lead times.

It actually has become very difficult for me to promote the wheel any further due to insane lead times. Containers are selling out before they land. once they land it can be up to 8-10 weeks before the wheels are through the machining process if the complete container is sold out.

I HAVE NOT TAKE ANY NEW ORDERS SINCE THIS FIRST BATCH.

THEREFORE ANY ORDERS PLACED SHOULD BE FULFILLED THIS MONTH. EVERYTHING IS IN MACHINING PHASE.

ANY NEW INQUIRIES MIGHT RESULT IN A 3-4 MONTH LEAD TIME DEPENDING ON FORGESTAR'S ABILITY TO RAMP INVENTORY AND PRODUCTION.

wait so people who ordered already 3-4 months? or 3-4 months for new orders?

suxs for you matt

:wallbash:

Hi Rishie,

Is the color Gunmetal still available?

...:(

poor atilla and rev still no wheels

Gunmetal is still available.

The wheels are here just waiting for machining. They should all be done this month. I confirmed and got all their internal order #'s for the machining process so I know they are scheduled.

PM Sent. :)

These are not the first affordable cast flow formed wheels on the market. Not that it matters much but just saying. Rays G-Games 99b came out 2005? and they are cast flow formed. They are strong and fairly light as well.

where is the pickup location for those of us that are picking these up?

^ lol is this really that hard of a question

The location is the same as where they drop it off

Happy? :)

:squint:

I'm looking for that set up but am wondering if there is any wheel rub front or back???
