its good to know you have the patience, i got discouraged by their reps out here in san diego. i just kept getting bad CS and some of them weren't even educated about their product. i'm not saying the company is bad or anything like that, i just had bad experiences with some of their reps out here.

i as well don't have the patience, so i've decided to hold off on that project and wait for my tires to go bald lol but i did see a set thats priced reasonable and they don't take 6-8 weeks of build time. try looking up Tork Wheels and HP Design Wheels. if you're like me and you have responsibilities like child support and money grubbing X's, well then my friend it wouldn't hurt to go online to check those products out.

4 weeks is fairly normal for custom forged. HRE recently cut theirs down to 2 weeks, but it's not unheard of for forged wheels to take 6-8 weeks if they happen to be slammed. I waited about 6 weeks for my IForged.
