Will is there a way you could look into this? Going forward I would really like to know. For example, my wheels are superchrome, and its a painted chrome finish! the back of my wheel is dull silver its only the face that painted chrome. The finish is really nice and has a different look than regular chrome, but is a little harder to maintain.

Different wheels have different finishes, but could you perhaps look into and give us some surface info? I think it would be really helpful going down the line!! [/B]


D, you have that "lowenhart" type of chrome right? That deep dark chrome kinda look? If so, I love that look

DIESEL I have not seen real Lowenhart since I got my wheels, but I think they are all plated chrome, wheareas the Dronell is a painted chrome. Here is a closeup

Default Boo Hoo........

I for one am GLAD that the Gettin' is being discontinued. I dont remember another wheel becoming sooo popular, sooo fast..(maybe not since the RH C5) For all of those CL members who wont get a chance to view them on their own cars....heres something to remember the Gettins' by..... Kiss them goodbye(no pun intended) heeehee

Damn this sucks... I had no idea that the Gettins were going away I didn't find out until I read the post from Letsride ...

Wish I could have gotten up the cash for these when they were still around...

If you don't mind me asking where did you locate them @ ?? I am sure they are not 100% sold out everywhere, just that the company is going bankrupt and that no more will be made so when they are gone they are gone...

not bankrupt, just "restructuring" over in Japan. Try Wheel Experts to get them for you. They have the best prices as of yet.

I think the most important twist to this whole scenario is the delivery time, although saving 500 bucks is nice, waiting 4-12 months for you wheels to arrive is not!! I would only feel secure going with someone that has:

1. A proven track record for overseas orders shipped via boat

2. Someone that is proven and uses airshipping for timeliness.

agree, price is a factor but schedule is what i care most. in fact i probably will only go with air freight. even by air it takes a week or a bit more to get from japan to here already (together with clearing the custom, etc...) and from the order of rims, etc... it will be 4-6 weeks. now if using boat... that would make it 1 month for the shipping, so it would be like 7-10 weeks @_@
