Even when they're in stock at Mackin there are errors that occur over there. As far as Dave from R&D he's a real respectable guy and I will order my next set of rims from him as well. Well I actually gave him business from buddies of mine.
Any word? I wanna see pics

I am guessing Wednesday or Thursday the latest. It'll be a long day tomorrow I'm going to install the coilovers myself. First time trying it, but I'll see what happens.

Congratulations. I hope they arrive. I still have not heard from Dave on the status or ETA of mine. Tomorrow is 9 weeks. I am going to shoot him another email maybe he can find out something.

I bought some the GT-AV 19"x 8.5" in Gunmetal. I am hoping they will get here soon, I have other projects they tie into.

Those look really good...all of that writing on them is distracting (why do wheel companies do this? The center cap is plenty.), but they still look really good. Can't wait to see full car shots (and use some tire shine ).

These are actually the lugs that come with the Progressives and then I'm using my old Volk lugs as a key. So I have 4 Silver and one black. Thanks for the comments guys. I'm still waiting on my coilovers and extended lug nuts, I've purchased them over a month ago.

Is that face one on the front and face 2 on the back? I had a set but sold it because sticks out too much. I like it but have to sell it though.

Well guess what, WheelsDirectOnline.com lost my order or never ordered my wheels that I ordered on November 7th of last year. I have constantly asked them when they were expecting them. They said it would be two weeks then a month now they are just figuring out that they never ordered them. However they are giving my money back but that does nothing for me when I have waited so long. I am never giving them anymore of my business again and if anyone has dealt with another Volk dealer that is respectable please let me know.

Sorry for the rant but I don't want this to happen to anyone else and it really sucks, I'm Pissed!

Finally got a little info from Dave. Mackin told him that "a shipping schedule was being made for them" I ask him to elaborate but he just confirmed that we were getting closer. Does anyone know what this means?

Just ordered my GT-Cs in silver from Ryan at fourperformance.com. Look on the Mackin site for offical retailers in your area.
