Apnea where did you order them from? And did you get anything special? Like a special coating or color?

Not going to say where...Nothing special...17x10 & 17x9...in the gun metal which is nothing special...i don't know but I really think someone dropped the ball on this one...I guess that's what you get for paying 100% up front.

Got 17 X 9 & 10 in 38 & 40 offsets with Yokohama ES100 245F & 275R..Paid in full from day one...Makes me wondering if it would have come any quicker if I would just have paid the $500 minimum deposit reqired to order...It doesn't really make sense at this point in the game. It's way too late and I am sure I can't back out without loosing some of my money. But ****...I was told 8-12 weeks...16! fukin weeks. God Damn, that's just down right crazy. I could see if it were some special order with offsets they have to make custom but, ****!....Did I mention ****, dik, ****, ***, kak...I can't belive it. really disappointing. Anyway, no sense whining now.

apneablue: What kind of suspension mods are you running? I checked your website but didn't see any mention of it. I hate to tell you this, but those offsets w/ those wheel widths are on the low side, and you may have to go with the additional expense of buying coilovers and/or aftermarket toe links and trailing arms to avoid rubbing or hitting anything. Up front, you're *very* likely to.

You're right...Right now I am not running anything but stock suspension. I was planning on keeping the stock r2 shock and running H&R springs...Moste everyone said the rear would fit but the front would rub and need to roll the fenders. I will throw them on and see what's happening and then go from there.

Thanks guys.

I got mine 57-F Pro about 4 months. I ordered the rims in Feb 04 and it is a special order even I go with the recommended sizes. Got the rims in early June. I checked the sticker on the rims and they were manufactured in March 04. I assume Volks got the order and took them a month to manufacture it. Then another two months to pack, ship, clear custom and finally delivery to me.

I ordered a set of Gram Lights 57c back in March and I still don't have them. You think u're pissed off, I was hoping to have mine for the summer, now if I ever get them I'll have to wait until next summer before I can show them off.

Also, I noticed that you said you got your 57 pros in Gunmetal, I was told that they only come in Gold, or I would have gotten a set for my FC.
