So, I just received an e-mail from FedEx letting me know my wheels are ready for pick-up. Installation will be first thing tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll post a teaser picture of them uninstalled today if there's any interest.

Ahhhh, the first on the site AFAIK to run the T7Rs, love those wheels, and will look kick as$ on your G, so Jelly right now. Congrats bro!
How long did it take from ordering to actual delivery? Bet the anticipation was brutal.

Thanks! I got really lucky and the wheels I ordered were in stock at Work USA, otherwise I was told the wait could be up to 16 weeks! That's crazy! Still, the 2 weeks they took to come felt like 16 weeks filling up the tire on my cracked wheel 2 times a day just to get to and from work, and not driving my car for anything but work. They will be installed tomorrow morning and I'll be sure to post pictures. The GT Silver looked great in pictures, but is out of this world in person. So far, I couldn't be happier.

Nice wheels dude! They match very nicely with the rest of the car. Are you planning to paint the calipers to give it another flavor?

Thanks! Coming from my old wheels, which were a matte grey (almost a perfect match to the paint, except dull), these wheels do give it another flavor with how much they pop. With that said, I totally see what you're saying. I've fallen in love with the old G35 gold color. I just can't think of the logistics to get my calipers done without down time.

Yesss that would be sick nasty. You could always go the DIY route instead of powder coating. To save even more time, use the plastic bag method and paint them without removing the calipers. Tbh nobody sees the entire caliper anyway lol...
