Default FML nothing seems to go right!!!

Well I ordered my RTR rims last night, and woke up this morning to an e-mail from late model restoration that they are not expected until late april due to a "national popularity of these wheels". I really dont want to wait that long especially for the kind of money I am paying for these wheels. Any other suggestions on rims if I cant find a place that has them in stock?

Black gt500's from american muscle?
Flat black fr500's?
oem gt500 rims?
foose legends?
Black track pack wheels?
I am mainly looking for an all black rim with no chrome or polished lip, just all black.

The black fr500's were my original choice when I first started looking. The black supersnake wheels are nice but I would be better off just buying a blower which I already ruled out lol

One more "issue" and we'll ask if you're related to Blackcloud.... I mean, Blacksmoke.

Tell me about it. I would go with the tsw's but they are a little lighter than I expected. The RTR's have a darker finish, but for the $2300 I am spending I really dont want to wait until april. If I am going to have to wait until april I am better off getting the blower which I dont want to do.

If I go with cheaper rims, I can do the roush fascia now as well

Cane they look great on your car! I am considering them, but why are your rear sidewalls so big compared to the front? Is it because you went with 295's or is it the offset of the tire?
