Wheel Nightmare / Part 2 / KOREA?

I know one thing I'm starting to see alot of is Vendors here advertising products here, then you call them up and they don't have them there. It's at there distributor. So you pay. They call over to there distributor to place the order and find out they don't have them either. Then not offer you anything in exchange.

Yup, I have noticed this trend also. A lot of vendors have no problem taking your cash and making promises regarding shipping/delivery dates without even having the item in stock.

This often leads to a disappointed customer.

Thanks to the economy, not much vendors stocks stuff now, especially expensive stuff like TE37s

Some vendors are good enough to keep you in the loop about stuff like this though and at least refund your money if things are not in stock. More often than not, you have vendors that won't do much except take your money.

Just gotta hang in there man, some people have waited months and even more than a year for their wheels.

I said not much, not ALL.

I would've been surprised if somebody actually had them in stock. Mine had to be built and shipped from Japan. Took 4 months to get them from time of order. Not sure if they went through Korea though.

Don't get your ballz in a bunch, I'm just saying. They specialize in Zs and usually have a lot in stock. maybe it will help someone in the future. I think they actually move more volks than any other dealer.

I hope you don't get slammed with import/brokerage fee's!
