well i ordered a set of four new wheels for my trucky. bought them from the local discount tire for a good price ($40 apiece). i got the AR 767 (black D hole steel wheels) and the local warehouse (DFW) had two in stock and the other two had to be ordered from the San Antonio warehouse. well that was three days ago and i went to get them this morning and sure enough...

"well we only got two of them"

ah!

"it appears that when we put in the order and that the warehouse didnt put in the order on their part"

ahh!!

"but here is the bad news, we can order them today but UPS doesnt ship on saturdays and since monday is a holiday we wont be able to get them till tuesday or wednesday"

ahhh!!!

:::american racing calls back while i am waiting:::

"oh, they dont ship steel wheels by air anymore. its gonna take two weeks to get them, you still want them?"

ahhhh!!!!

"TWO WEEKS TO GET WHEELS FROM SAN ANTONIO TO DALLAS/FORT WORTH!!!!!!!"

ahhhhh!!!!!

"oh they cant locate the two that the warehouse has so they have to wait for new ones come from the manufacture"

ahhhhhh!!!!!!



soooo i took the two that they already had thinking that in two weeks they will come up "missing" and have a funky looking truck...

oh well...

A) Inform them there are other freight companies (FedEx ships on Saturday), or
B) Drive to San Antonio, get your wheels and have a few cold ones on the Riverwalk.

PS I don't believe that line about not shipping steel wheels for a minute...

i know... all BS... but i did ask if i can go get them myself and thats when they told me that they had to be ordered directly from the manufacture... thats why they are taking two weeks to get now.

intense...how heavy are those steel wheels? I
was thinking of ordering them through my
local sears, but wasnt sure if they had the 6 x
4.5 or how heavy they were. I want to use
them with a set of slicks, so I only need 2! LOL
j/k.

thanx.

well i can get you a good deal on two of them! heh
they arent really heavy but noticable more than the aluminum stockers. if you are wanting to use them for slicks you should get a set of the stock 15X8s because you will want a lighter wheel to go with the lighter slicks. just a suggestion...

oh wait... i tried selling my two 15X8 aluminum wheels with mickey thompson e.t. slicks... oh well :-(

how much do you want for the slicks and wheels? (just curious)

BTW, when did you get the MO for the injectors, and when did you ship them out? im trying to figure when they should show up.

thanks

$150 plus shipping... one wheel is in great shape the other is scratched to hell and back.. the tires have plenty of life on them.
