My seven year old says you're going on my ignore list...

Thats why they don't get to vote til they're older.

Pledged. 17x9 anthracite + red center caps for my Sportwagen's track wheels.

Currently, we are about 2-3 weeks out from getting the first production shipment of the 17" VS-5RS Group Buy wheels to our warehouse. With that said, we are still on track to ship orders out before the end of August. It might be pretty close, but I'm confident you should get your wheels before that weekend.

Pledged!

I was just looking for lightweight wheels, and ~20lb wheels just didn't bring enough of a difference to justify the $$$.

You nerds have any tires left that fit these?

Tire Machine is officially moved out from our warehouse to our office. No more mounting and balancing of any tire orders as of last Friday, unfortunately.

Aside from the silly price, any reason not to run titanium wheel bolts? I realize I could do a stud conversion, but I've been dealing with wheel bolts for so long, I really don't think it would speed anything up significantly.

Aesthetically, all of the cheap silver wheel bolts look, well cheap. Plus I like the idea of the Acer seven sided "locks" for road use.
