Great looking wheel. How long was the wait from the time you ordered? That’s an 18, right?

Yes 18" and a +29 offset.

I think I ordered in April or May. Pre-delivery sale so it was always going to be July at the earliest for them to arrive.

The day you posted (15th I believe) was the last day of the pre delivery sale (unless they’re lying and every day says it’s the last day. ) I stared at them a long time (5 for $1800) but then noticed the “Plus Shipping” and decided that even at $375 a corner it was a stretch since I have perfectly good OEM 18s on the truck right now, but with the wildcard of shipping from AU it’s just not in the cards.

Great looking wheel though. Do you have them mounted yet?

Shipping is from TN USA.

I'd not be buying rims if I already had 18" on the car.

Not mounted them yet.

Caliper grinding first and then I'll get the boots.

Shopping for a grinder and discs next.

Wheels in black and Vredestein Pinza AT 265/70R18 are sitting in the shop waiting to be installed next week. Will post a pic once mounted.

@POPTOPP

Thanks for the pictures. I've finally finalized my tire size as the same 265/70 R18 as yours.

No rub in access I assume?

No rub (though I haven't tried access height).
