My disatisfaction at this point is solely related to managing my expectations. I knew going in that I wasn't going to get the wheels delivered in Amazon like timeframe. Objectively, I can be ok with waiting or unhappy about it. Neither is going to change the fact that I have to wait. So I wait... happily at this point.

Thanks for that info.

Agree, very frustrating when they say in stock and they don't have them, but I do like your take on the situation

I'm sure the wait will be worthwhile.

I received a shipping confirmation, the wheels should be here Monday. My mechanic doesn't have an opening for me until the following Monday. Also, I received an unexpected surprise. UPS billed me an additional $24.72 for import fees/taxes.

Good news. $24 doesn't seem too bad for the value, I got a charge greater than that here in the UK when I bought a watch from the US and it cost a lot less then your wheels.

Pics please when you have them fitted
