do you not have another spare set just incase? That would suck if you don't... I really hope you get em in soon man so there will be no worries. Also even if you have another set, is still wanna see your ride with those new wheels. Which by the way, do we know what they are yet or will be a surprise?!

Still I don't think production and shipping should take 4 months from Japan. You got any picks of those wheels? I found a pair last night that I really like....

WORK BLACK CHROME is ONLY produced by Work. Its not the same as regular Chrome, and the stages it goes through take longer then chroming.

Also, Work wheels are 3 piece wheels, and 100% made to order. If they don't have the right "disk size", then they have to have those parts shipped from their distrubutor. This is exactly what happened for me. I have an R-disk in front for clearance of my BBK, and my rear is an O-disk. They had plenty of O's, but not R's, so that took another month just to get the parts in. Then they have to go through the Black Chroming process.


here's a Lexus w/ them on...

Thanks ****, I think I may be better off searching for a used set somewhere for how costly a new set can cost.

And I really like black chrome vs chrome, much better look. Especially for a black car.
