Congrats. I also ordered mine from Paradise last week. Whiplash fully brushed and cleared. Even though I bought the wheels from Paradise both Frank and Jason were also a great help in helping me confirm BS and finish choices. Thanks guys.

So you pick Franks brain and you buy them from Prrc. You don't see any problem with that?

Frank and I discussed the fact that I had a placed a deposit on wheels with PRRC upfront. It just goes to show you how great a guy he is (which was my point). For the record I have already purchased DSE control arms, a complete Wilwood brake setup and shocks from him and will defintely be purchasing my Frontrunner set up from him. If you must know.

Vegas, that scenario where someone calls us and buys somewhere else for less money happens sometimes. Many around these forums only trust us for fitment and advice, but are price shoppers to the last penny. I do free technical service for forum members with absolutely no purchase required. We are competitive on our prices, but I have overhead to pay and like to eat (a lot, LOL). I would like to see our 29th year in business come and go and cannot do it selling for no profit. Some are willing to sell for absolutely no profit or as little a a couple points after CC fees and I am encouraging my customers to take advantage of these opportunities while they are still available. Get it while it is good.

That is what I did with Northern Goat. I told him to do through with his deal.

Northern Goat actually bent over backwards to NOT use me for technical help and buy somewhere else. In fact at one point he was willing to forfeit his deposit somewhere else and buy through us which I told him was appreciated, but completely stupid financially. So in this case, we have more then a stand up guy.

Vegas, I appreciate your loyalty and standing up for me, especially knowing I was not around this weekend. My loyal base is very valuable to me, thanks so much

Northern good luck on your wheels fitment, I think you will be fine. Just make sure to cover that hub snout issue we discussed,

Just to clear the air here and set things straight. Northern Goat has had his set of Rushforth wheels on hold in our layaway plan for more than 12 months. This was the last time we ran a special on the Rushforth line.
As for talking to a competitor and then buying from us, well this happens many times in both directions. There are 3 companies that come to mind that are very competitive with their pricing structure.
The same has happened to us in the past. But hey that's just the way it goes sometimes. It's all part of being in business.

Tim

Thanks Steve! Yours look killer on your car. I really like the brushed centers/polished hoops. Cant go wrong with that combo.
