LOL, You know how many $500-$ 1000 ipads, Apple delivers every month ~ more than a couple million.

Not even counting iphones (more than a few million too) or macs..

i order CF10s in may of 2012. attempted cancellation in Nov of 2012 after months of no update. no response, no status to repeated inquiries. contacted FS directly, no response. chargeback in dec of 2012 after no response to repeated inquiries. simply not worth the hassle. buy the OEM 19" multi spokes and powder coat. those multies are the best looking wheel outside of certain HREs anyway

just buy when the GBP is slumping and save $500

Having problems with them over production time is one thing (and still unacceptable).

What's worse is getting no response from them when they mess up wheels and are unwilling to admit that they aren't correct...

Buyer beware.

Feels awesome to be a Forgestar customer (repeat) with no support from the manufacturer.

Should have lit my money on fire instead of spending it with them....would have created less problems.

WTF Months!!!! wow I'd be pissed as **** esp since you can't drive your car if you don't have any other wheels. 3-4 weeks seem reasonable, 6-8 is pushing it but anymore then that I'd want my money back. My wheel issues isn't that the manufacturer (Carlsson) doesn't stand by them, but the Forged Ultra Light are rare as hell.

I kinda wish the wheels didn't come with the car when I bought them, but I got soo addicted to the look of them that when one of my wheels cracked it took a month to find a replacement. And I thought a month was bad, so 3-4 month wait times holy ****.... Sorry about all the headaches you guys went through.

I was so glad I was able to buy CF10s used from a local seller. However, one of the wheels were damaged and I had to get one replacement wheel (ordered from local shop). Long story short, almost 2 months and counting for the one wheel. I think they must be backed up for SEMA, which is understandable. I'll just continue to wait patiently then...hope it comes before 2014. Lol

I would never recommend anyone to order a set of Forgestar wheels brand new. Wait until a dealer has them in stock or buy used. I waited almost 16 weeks for mine to be delivered with absolutely NO communication at every step of the process.
