so I will keep everyone posted on what does/doesn't arrive.

& Hope you're getting the right size...

Rick finally did contact me and said that my forged centers and other wheel parts should be delivered to him any day. We'll see, I've heard this before.

My big question was, do vendors usually assemble the wheels themselves? I thought the manufacturer (Work) handled this? How do you know what parts you're getting? Are they the real, forged, quality pieces or just replicas from a unknown supplier of substandard quality? How do I know what I'm really getting and where's the QC assurance? I still don't have my wheels or a real delivery date but now I'm not sure of what I'm even getting. This is getting worse and worse. Can anyone verify this stuff? Hey Rick? Maybe Mark from RavSpec could jump in and explain the "normal" process.

Hey:

Just curious, when you measure the wheel, u need to measure from the inner lip, not the outer lip. There is 1/2" of outer lip (barrel) on the wheel are not counted toward the size of the wheel.

So if you measure your wheels from the very edge of the wheel, you need to take 1" off.

Im not sure which is the inner lip and which is the outer one but from the looks of the picture below, it looks like its measured from the inner lip

Supposed to be 9.5" when ordered but when measured its 10"... im not sure if the measurement was done correctly, but im sure the wheel shop knows what they're doing.

OK, they measured from the inner lip.
