Custom wheels are built to order and not mass produced that's why they take time. Ya a company could bust out a set in a day or so but they wouldn't be able to work on multiple sets at a time. There are a lot of different stages and sometimes material issues.

Jay, do I get a family discount on your wheels? I'm also a Budnik

I'd be looking for a new wheel supplier if it were me. This doesn't look right. No pallets out back. Nobody on the phones. Not good.

The recon squid.

That is NOT good news...

We're having a similar problem with another wheel manufacturer.

We ordered a set of Enkreuz wheels for a customer in April, yes April... and are still waiting. I paid the final balance at the end of August since the wheels were finally completed. Yes, the wheels took way way too long, but I talked to Scott at Forgeline (the actual manufacturer) and he verified that they shipped the wheel centers at the end of July. Enkreuz does the final assembly "in house."

We call, email, and text message on a daily basis and Enkreuz continues to come up with a new excuse every time. They told us yesterday that the wheels shipped last Thursday, but I can't get a tracking number from them (or a call back for that matter...) We'll see what happens.

Any recon squids live near Irvine California???

Well, I just got off the phone with my dealer and my money and his money is secure. Now, I've lost 8 weeks and am back at square one.

So that means no wheels...?

Chris --

It's only "time" -- it could have been your MONEY and your time... be thankful for the little things.

I'm tellin' ya -- for me -- I hesitate to give ANYONE an advance on anything anymore (that's a lot of "anys"!).... there's so many stories of people being burned.

When I ran the wheel shop EVERYTHING was COD, EVERYTHING! Nothing gets these guys to move faster the getting their money.
