I need help, anybody else make these? They have had my money since the first day also....

You are not alone, I got the same 3 weeks quote and Im going on 2.5 months. I was told that there manufacturer of there rings went bankrupt and they were having to make there own. I would normally canceled my order, but im getting 2 more of what I already have and dont want to buy a complete new set. Im gambling because I see a strong possibilty of them going bankrupt if there doing this nonsense to everyone.

Exactly what i'm going through except it's been 4 months. They say my 18 should be in the box soon, but no ETA on the 20's still. I ask then all kinds of questions also. Like "you shut down production while tooling up your plant?"
"How could you tell me 3 to 4 weeks when you KNEW that wasn't even close to the truth" ect. ect. They just don't have anything to say. Just, "yes, we are sorry sir, it's a custom wheel and take awhile"... Custom wheel? bwhahah, they weld the centers to the rim, REAL custom! I'm just in the same boat as you, I want that style of wheel....

Those aren't the same wheels you posted just very similar. I'm sure DSE can tell you who made them.

Yeah, that's all I want, don't care who makes them.. Just thought it was a link to a place that sells them. I'll email them, thanks.

I can set you up with a set of Schott Velocity Wheels. Similar style wheel with a 4-6 week turn around.

Thank you Justin,I knew Schott made something similar although that is more of a gasser wheel then it is a salt lake-look wheel.
The quality on those Shott wheels are incredible...
