Default Mooncakes have finally arrived!

I just received word that my Vienna Zweels have finally arrived after waiting for 7 months! I'm getting them installed tomorrow and will post pics soon. Here's a teaser.

I've always liked those wheels - can't wait to see what they'll look like on an IS.

I placed the order on Jan. 28, 2008 and the shop didn't send the order out until late June. Bunch of procrastinators. I gave them an ultimatum that if the wheels didn't arrive by end of August, I would cancel the order. Luckily, for them they fulfilled by demands and discounted another $100 of the total price. All in all, I do believe the wait was worth it. Can't wait to get them installed tomorrow.

Default Pics added!

Just got my new wheels bolted on and I truly attest that they are simply stunning. View the gallery here. I couldn't believe that I actually waited 7 months for these wheels to arrive, but I'm extremely satisfied with the results. The only complaint about the tires is that they are a little bit noisy than stock. Here are the running specs:

SSR Vienna Zweels

19x8.5 +43F
19x9.5 +43R

Falken FK-452
235/35/19F
265/30/19R

nice dappy! you finally got some wheels, and this weekend is going to be great, so enjoy the rest of the summer! there's a meet this weekend, but i won't be there, out to the states btw, you could've went 275 in the back. but man, 7 month, i'd ask them to discount another 200 at least, you have the patience, i definitly can't wait that long lol, when i was about to order the work wheels, they said 2 month, i said forget it haha
