I called this last friday and I found out that one of the tires I had orded ,and it came with a defect, so they were getting me another one, I was very happy that the guys at the shop inspected them closely or I would have another problem, anyway, the tire was to be there last friday and I was told that they would ship in saturday, who ever told me that didn't know what there were talking about, they don't ship on saturday, I talked to the REAL guy in charge today again, he was out the last time I talked to them, he told me that the tire would be in tomorrow, mounted, balanced and the whole set shipped by tomorrow afternoon, AND because of the holdup, he is having the whole set shipped TWO DAY AIR at no expence to me. what a deal. SO, my tires should be at my house at about thursday afternoon by the time I get home!

true, they will be worth the wait, but I don't get home itll 7 pm every night, and after a hard day, the last thing I would want to do is to have to put a whole set of new tires on, grrrrrr. BUT I guess that is exactly what I will be doing on Monday night. I will post some pictures the next day.

I have 275/60/15s on my truck in the rear and they looks badass IMO. However for the front I am going 255/65/15 as I think trucks look better with a little more tire then a car.

Haha quit whining man! I could get 1 day exress air here or whatever the fastest delivery it is, and it'd take a week. I think the quickest i've ever received is a priority small package from a guy in PA that took a week and a few days.

damn dude, i am sorry to hear about your troubles getting your rims. Hope they get there **** together and get those rims to your front door!

I was suprised to see you went with Foose wheels. That's a pretty penny but it is defintely different. Should look pretty badass when everything is all said and done. -Mike-

well they are doing their normal thing, Its just that I am not a very patient person. I worked on this deal for a while and now that the wheels/tires are in the mail I WANT THEM NOW!! lol The guys where I bought everything are great, I have gotten GREAT customer service.

and YES, they cost a pretty penny, I wanted the best in my opinion, and thats what I saved for. and you won't see many around my neck of the woods that have them.

hey that's awesome man! I know the feeling man when you order something you've always wanted. One of the best feelings in the world is when the big brown truck or big white truck shows up in front of your house. -Mike-

I am sure I will have to ask my wife, REAL NICE, to put her car out in the rain for as long as it takes for me to change them out. :{D but you can bet money that I won't put MY car out in the rain, lol. you got to understand that my car has been WET from rain ONCE in the 4 years I have owned it. needless to say, its as clean as you can keep one, its actually a show car of sorts, not a daily driver.
