Thumbs down 68 camaro wheels DSE sub and Quad

Guys I need help. We ordered wheels from a respected Vendor on this site and were told we would have them in 4 weeks which would have been last week, and instead of getting the wheels. We received a nice email saying Oops Sorry we forgot to order. It will be 4 more weeks. I have the DSE subframe and QuadraLink installed along with Baer 6P brakes and cannot take teh car off of the jack stands beacuse of this dealer. Any suggestions to some wheels that I can find to put on the car to get it ready for the Texas show in March. I am trying to get it rolling so we can do some testing but no wheels, you get the point. Should have ordered my wheels from Frank I guess. Help Please. I had ordered BS Draft wheels 18x12 rear for the DSE frame stuff.

Looks like a great project.

it also looks like you have 4 weeks of work left till you will be testing the grip of the tires.

i would call the vendor and see if there is anything the manufacturer can do to bump you up a bit in the waiting list.
People make mistakes, i know i do!!! S%*t happens, honestly most manufacturers will do everything in their control to keep you happy.

sometimes there is nothing that can be done to speed up the order, in these tough times it is difficult to have everything in stock all the time. and that goes for the manufacturers suppliers as well, so it reall trickels down.

Call the guy you purchased them from!!! comming on here isn't going to help.

Killer 69.

I did not come on here to bash anyone or cry about someone dropping the ball, I am a manufacturer as well, I understand these things. I was frustated and was looking for an inexpensive way to get may car on the ground. You are correct I have a lot of work left. Need some help! Anyway thanks. Probably will need some pointers before we test thr grip

If you pull the calipers and rotors, anything will fit.
