^^^ It usually gets "lost" right at after they are "stolen" ..!!! 
Hopefully, UPS tries to find your 4 missing rims..
But if they can't track it by now, they will be investigating with their internal loss prevention department.
Regarding your Wald Replica issue... If you’re going to "save up"..
... You might as well save up for an original piece that is designed to properly fit on the 2IS trunk lid...
In the end, you will "save" on fitment headaches..
(just my 0.02 cents)

Update 02/07/2012.1
Unfortunately not a good one folks.
Looks like UPS has lost my D2Forged wheels somewhere in KS. I swear these guys are a nightmare. This is the second lost shipment in 2 months, but this one will be a ***** to recover funds for.
As far as the Wald replica..... I did a little research, and I found that the replica I purchased doesn't fit like the Real one does. It does not reach the bottom of the trunk lid like the real deal does. So, if you guys are good with that, then by all means. Another thing I noticed (and its common with all of these Wald, and rep) is that the corners flare slightly upwards. You can use a heat gun to straighten it out, or use Epoxy. If your going the Epoxy rout, understand that this will be a permanent fix, and cannot be undone without causing damage to either the spoiler, or the trunk. At that point just save up, and mold the thing.
Anyway, there might be another update this afternoon. At least I hope.

thank god they found your wheels bro 
the fitment on the wald you said they flare up and the bottom doesn't reach, how bad? I don't want to mold mine just because its a headache if I try to sell the car down the road, theres two sellers, I'm trying to buy one asap.
