I was in the same boat as you guys. My order was at 16 weeks last tuesday. I work for a automotive aftermarket manufacture(not wheels). I know delays happen. Driverz Inc hasn't done anything wrong imo. When the delays were going on I told Jon I just want the wheels to be right. On time would be nice, but I want them to be right.

As of Wednesday my Fikse order was cancelled, and I am going in another direction. Driverz Inc. is taking care me on my new order. I wouldn't have had a problem waiting for my Fikse order, but I didn't like the two more weeks, two more weeks, two more weeks game. If when my original 8 week order deadline past Fikse would have asked for another 8 weeks I probably wouldn't have had a big problem with it. I live in Michigan and my car season is over anyway. My wheels were suppose to ship next week. The problem is I've heard that before. Simply do what you say you are going to do. If I felt like Fikse would have kept their word and my wheels would be shipping next week I probably wouldn't have cancelled the order.

I'm excited about my new order and the changes that will be done to the car to make them fit. Thanks for the second chance to make the right decision the first time.

After reading all the posts this reminds me of a prodigy custom order,but I have to give props to Driverz Inc for at least putting your orders in when you placed your order. Greg

Ditto!

We got Forgelines for Fernando's new CTS-V literally in 2 weeks,no joke.

I guess I will never understand why people like Fikse so much,when there are many other wheel makers with much faster build time. :_paranoid

I think part of the problem is that no one expected it to take 16+ weeks. When someone tells me 6-8 weeks I assume they are going to deliver. When they said "two more weeks" I figured okay no biggie. When they said "two more weeks" a second time I was like wtf... Oh well, what's another two weeks. When they didn't follow through for the third time I jumped ship. I'm now playing for team Forgeline!! They said 2-3 weeks build the wheels. They will ship to Driverz Inc for mounting and balancing. Driverz Inc will then ship them to me. We are shooting for 4-5 weeks from date of order to my door.

Can you define "so dam nice "? Their huge lineup of the whole 5 styles,that's been around for 20 years? Or the quality the OP has experienced?

Both.:thumbsup: I happen to really like the 20 year old styles versus some other wheels where people will do anything to try and be different. The quality on the 2 sets I own is second to none.

Another reason why people go with Fikse wheels is because they are alot cheaper then other manufactures....
