Thanks man. I just didn't think you could expedite something like this. I figured something as heavy and big as 4 wheels HAD to be shipped by ground. Usually air mail is saved for envelopes and small packages. How are we going to expedite?

HRE called me today and left a message. They found some parts that will fit my wheels and they think they'll be shipping them to WB in Florida to have my tires mounted tomorrow.
I still have my fingers crossed for friday!!!!!:biggrin:
Did you order your stereo shit yet? I have to get my car in for tb/wp!!!!!!oh and mods

Wheels still won't be here on Friday. They are being shipped from California to Florida right now to have the tires mounted. Ben at WB said he'd expidite the shipping to 2 or 3 days... but that still leaves me around Monday or Tuesday I guess. How long as my car been stuck in the shop now? 6 weeks?
I'm in the process of purchasing stereo equipment right now. If my car leaves the garage without a working stereo, I really don't care. It sounds so shitty I hardly listen to it anyway. I'll just bring it back when I get the goods.

Here is MARCH 20th!
(no wheels)
Your my boy though so your car is safe every night!
i know you are anxious to get them, but just relax :smile:
4-6 weeks is about right for getting them in. I have friends who have ordered from other rim makers and it takes them 3 weeks just to return a call! Remember these are custom built and they go through a QC process. I had a delay in a set of BLACK 542Rs i ordered for my pcar due to the finish on the powdercoat. It didnt pass QC checks, so it had to be addressed. Did it suck not to have them a week earlier, of course, but its good to know they didnt just send out a wheel that isnt up to par. fwiw, I also have them drop ship directly to me, and i order my own tires. Either way looking fwd to seeing the pics asap :biggrin:

I was always told to underpromise and overdeliver. Guess that doesn't apply in all companies.
Well here is the long and short of it.
The wheels... look great.
The fitment... fantastic. The fact that I have such wide rear tires on the back... and I can turn my wheels full lock in both directions with no rubbing issues makes me the happiest guy on earth.
The shipping irked me a bit. Shipping well past a "promised" ship date, and the only reason they were able to do that was because they put my wheels together with parts that were already mounted on another car. The inner barrel I believe it was. I think they knocked off a hundred bucks or something minimal for using those parts. Of course... another company probably would have just used those same parts, not said anything about it and I would've paid the same amount. Over all I'm happy. I wish they would've shown up in the time promised.... but at the end of the day I have a sick set of wheels on my car and again, the fitment is fantastic.... and that's all Ben at WB.

I know there isn't much demand, but is HRE going to come out with a monoblok for the NSX?
I am waiting for the P40 to come out for the E60 M5 (which is supposed to be out very soon)
Just beautiful
Ummmm yeah those are HOT!!
Sounds like they look great but now we need pics....................:biggrin:
Pics will be coming but the car is still in my shop, Still not put back together..
I want to see the pics of the M5
Those wheels look awesome on your car!!! Perfect choice - the wait was worth it.
I saw some HRE's on a Ferrari last week that had red color matched screws holding the rims together. They were special ordered that way, and came with a special tool that would not chip the paint if they needed to be tightened. Imagine how long that order took!!!
