How long did you guys wait for HREs?

The Axis PHIN rims I ordered is causing a lot of troubles.. I did not know I HAD TO use spacers in the rear.. even if I use 10mm spacers, I would still have tire rubbing problem in the rear with c55s' rolled fenders. Is it just the c55s that don't fit Axis wheels??? I don't know how FrankW did it but the fact that I waited so long to get new rims starting from LM6s, I regret so much that I did not begin with HREs in the first place.. I've already waisted too much of my $$$ and time ordering spacers, Axis wheels, canceling LM6, and disputing charges on LM6.. ect SO! I finally ordered HRE 841R in black with confidence. How long did you guys wait for them? They said 5 weeks to me but I know it takes little longer. And, if anyone's interested in Axis PHIN wheels, I'll sell them for a good price.

About the same... definitely worth the wait. Call Ben at WheelBoutique www.WheelBoutique.com and tell him Josh in Las Vegas sent you... he will hook you up. Also - I know that Neal can get them too at a really good price.

Cancel and buy from Neal. His prices are much cheaper. For $6k they better have a stripper hand deliver the rims, put them on, then blow you off.

We actually have the rims hand delivered by a stripper for no extra charge, however, if you want her to blow u, that is an additional $150. :p

Is that $6000 with or without tires. I ordered a set of 20" HRE's 5 series with tires and it cost me about $7,000. Aren't the 8 series alot more expensive then the 5's.

I was wondering the same thing... if that's shipped, mounted and balanced with good tires, I think that is a good price for 800 series.

Hey Harris, that $5800 is that for 19's because I got a quote for 20"s and it damn sure was more than $5800. A lot more!

I'm not trying to defend him or anything, but there's a lot of ways he coulda meant scam such as not giving him the right size wheels or not honoring his payment or a multitude of other things.
