You need to be more patient!! xD The anticipation is what makes getting the object all that much better.

thanks everyone!! and I am "sort of patient" lol but I have waiter long enough to make a decision and it seems that LRS waits for someone to order the rim before they order it from their distributer.

Well LRS just called me back and told me the track pack wheels will now no longer be in stock until late - mid march due to back order. I think I am just going to cancel my order and just re-order the RTR's and wait for them. I bought the track packs because I did really like them but if I have to wait basically the same amount of time, I am better off going with my initial first choice. Now I dont mean to sound impatient but this is effing ridiculous. Does LRS stock any of the rims they sell???

Few stock wheels any more, typically they drop ship because it saves space and some of the companies pay shipping that way.

Man its really annoying I mean when someone orders rims they want them to be shipped on their way in 3 days like they guarantee. I am gonna take a few look at the TSW's and the RTR's and base my decision on those 2. Is there any off set with the TSW's where you can get more of a curved face like the RTR's?

ShaneM

not sure, my 9.5" rears have more curve than the 9" fronts. It would seem the wider you go the more curve you get. i love the TSW wheels, i actually like the gray better than matte black now that i have them. the thing I dislike about all black wheels is no break in the black color with the tire. i would assume if you ent 9.5 on front and 10 on the rear you would have more curve. they arenl;t as flat as they look in pictures. they aren't as curved as the rtrs appear to be either. i have 30mm front and 40mm rear offset. the fronts could be pushed maybe a quarter inch more out and still be flush. no more than 40 on the rear or they will stick out with these wheels. i can tell you kow that most people drop ship directly from TSW if that affects your decision at all. took avout 5 days for mine to ship out, but the tsw has a dallas warehouse so they were here the next day.

The problem is that keeping an on hand stock of a large variety of wheels is both expensive and space consuming and most smallish companies can't or won't want to afford either of those. And neither will you to be honest, because that would mean you paying more to cover their overhead.

I know what you mean though I still look back on those days when I had to wait 14 weeks for my car to be delivered...terrible days.

o man that sucks. let us know how you make out with whatever you do now.

14 weeks!? Haha. I ordered my car in January of 05 and it came in September of that year!

To the OP... bummer but it will all be worth it!
