Oh yeah, of course... the interior isn't as hot on a really hot day, so that means the a/c will be colder quicker!

actually 8 weeks from the time of order (to be made in japan) till it comes to you, that's pretty standard. but if it takes 1 month to ship from west coast to east coast, that's some big issues
but reg just said ship actually didn't arrive until 2/20. with clearing custom, etc... i think it's ok

I put this order in on Dec 13th.
That's 12 weeks.
That's too, too long.
Why can't wheel makers do it like jewelry manufacturers and distributers, they front the stuff and get paid when it sells. If we all rose up in disappointment, this crap will change. Dealers should rarely run out of a product people are buying. I could see it if no one was buying but wheels sell. They're sucking us dry.
That's 12 weeks.

oh you put your order in in 12/13? now that's very long wait....... 
unfortunately the market is set this way (and even in japan, all made to order), it's going to be hard to change. plus i think the market for wheels/body kits are still more specific and small compared to jewelry.
but i'd still say it depends on the shop after all. seriously, it's about how hard they work to get the stuff. 8 weeks is what i say is standard, with 2-3 weeks being fastest i have seen
just hope they come soon, i can't wait to see them on your car!

P.S. ASANTI AND SEVAS WHEELS SUCK
Asanti gave a poor quality product and Sevas wheels gave me poor quality service .IMO I'D STAY AWAY FROM THEM IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT NEW WHEELS . TO MUCH TIME, MONEY, AND HEADACHE
