i wouldn't really have minded the wait so much if they'd been up front with me. i realize that these things are popular and sometimes people run out of things. and when the manufacturer is an ocean away sometimes things take a while to get shipped. i can live with this. i'll also save 60 bucks to wait for it if it's still cheaper than anyone else (aside from the fact that nobody i called even HAS the rims i want so they're probably all waiting for the same shipment).
