I don't understand why its taking so long for your wheels, especially being in the US?


Trevor's are 3 piece wheels, face, barel, and lip. All three of these are 100% customizable which is why they're so damn expensive. The reasons why WORK wheels take so long, is it depends if they have "face" sizes on hand (A, R & O) which are to clear your calipers, and determine your lip size.
Also, depending on the actual finish, the finish can take another 30-60 days (aka: WORK "Black chrome" )

Also, shipping from Japan is standard on a crate. They have ONE crate leave Japan on a ship to the US a month. Your wheels miss that crate, you have to wait another entire month. This is why so many have to have them air freighted over which is a b*tch.
yeah, that's why i don't understand why it's taking so long...i even ordered when i did hoping they would be here by now, but what can you do...i've waited this long, might as well wait a few more weeks...it's kind of a bummer if i don't get them by may 5th, but at least i'll have them by the time you guys get back!

Hopefully it's just taking a while for some odd reason and they are still coming. I would be angry though.

Now that tax season is over, we still extend alot of returns that will be due sept 15 and oct 15 so we have to prepare those this summer. Other than that, it is just doing research on tax planning/savings for clients.

I also may not be here for the summer, there are audits being done on the major banks right now for the foreclosures that happend a few years ago and only 3 of the public accounting firms have been approved by the OCC. So I may be in Philly or Tampa during the week and be able to fly home on fridays. All travel/hotel/food will be paid for and I get a lil bump in pay, just waiting to hear back on whether I have been accepted for it or not

i got my wheels through the same guys i got my f14s from, so they're legit...i just think forgestar is a smaller company and they probably have a lot of orders, since i did place my order during tax season heh.

hmmm i still think there's prob gonna be a lotta better options (looking and performing) not to say IF and WHEN that happens, it would be bad ***... but nissan/infiniti isnt really a big fan of boost stock, but maybe the gt-r changed that. I just dont see that a car at that HP level being marketed as a G.
