The price is good, hard to beat, but I don't like the made in China deal. One of my trailer tires essentially fell apart (made in China). I'm sticking to OEM or CCW wheels.

I know of one AV8SS car who's running these exact wheels. I know of several autocross cars running these wheels and I met an open track guy with a C4 who's been beating the crap out of these same wheels.
Besides, we've seen OEM wheels fail too..... |

I'm sort of on the fence. Please let us know when the deadline is for getting orders in, so that I can make a final decision yay or nay when time is about to run out. Thanks for organizing!

Not to butt in over Kevin, but last report I had was that he was trying to bring this together as of today (Aug 13). Since we have had significant interest, perhaps he will extend it a little bit. Maybe we can begin the ordering/shipping process and the vendor will honor their pricing for an extended period. Just a wandering thought. don't want to make more work for Kevin. Bock |

I think there is a difference between ZR1 replicas made in China and trailer wheels or HF tools. There are plenty of people running the ZR1 replicas hard without any issues. Although I would certainly inspect them like any wheel. I've heard of cracked CCW's too. Sometimes that happens when you're trying to make them as light as possible. One guy had oem corvette saw blades crack on a street car. And then there are the 10-spoke SS wheels that have cracked. No matter who makes your race wheels they should be inspected. I try to buy USA products all the time, almost all my tools are, but CCW's are out of my price range as well as GM 17x11's. |

Bock That's up to you guys. I picked today as the deadline because it will probably take 1-2 weeks for everyones payments to arrive and then I have to order the wheels and make payment arrangements with them. That could mean delivery will be 3+ weeks from today (depending on how things go). I don't want to hold anyone up, but you are the ones waiting on the wheels (I'm not sure if I'm buying a set or not right now, I've got several other projects going and I want to get them done first). On the other hand, if someone says "I'm in" tomorrow, we probably have time to get their order done. So, I can be a little flexible, but only to a point. I'm waiting on a fax back with shipping for a few people and to see if I can get a better price for you since we have plenty of wheels ordered now. If so, I'll issue checks for the difference to those who paid already. |

I know I would like to get my order as soon as is reasonably possible... and before the vendor changes their mind on our low low Walmart prices (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) thanks Bock |

Anything's possible. I'd just have to hold 3 orders for the second "batch" (unless I can work something out with them).
Or, if 3 more people want in, I know we can get these prices and we can do a second smaller order. I'm hoping to get a better deal since this is a large order, but we could probably do a second smaller batch of 3 or more if we get the extra orders. That might work best. I'm flexible. I also started a paid list in the first post. |

Ok. We're going to close things with the current orders. If someone wants in and can get payment to me before I get all the payments from those on the list, we'll put you in. If not, I'll either refund your cash or put you on a standby list for a second order (your choice).

I would want a set of 10.5s so if they are out of stock find out when they expect more, I can wait if the price is right and they can get black with no rivets. |
