I have the R1Rs as well and can attest they they are a pretty awesome tire. The 235s give you a good meaty look. Rears lasted only 1 year though. One can't expect much life out of a treadwear 140 tire however

[hmm]

Anyone get any communication for the final payment and/or shipping info?

I anticipate some action this week, starting Monday.

I ended up going with the Yokohama S drives, got a set of 4 on ebay for 575 (there are still some available).

Seemed to have the best combination of wear, low-noise and solid construction. We'll see! I sure hope our wheels start dropping Monday!

UPDATE: Shipment arrives Tuesday July 9th, but Hyper Black finish is delayed

We received notice earlier today, that the shipment arriving tomorrow morning (July 9th) was not loaded properly. Instead of 4x100 Hyper Black wheels being packaged, 5x120 wheels were shipped to us. This will result in the Hyper Black finish wheels arriving later than expected. Orders for the other finishes will be fulfilled tomorrow as originally scheduled.

The mix-up has been corrected, and the 4x100 Hyper Black wheels are now on their way. They were rushed out today, and are scheduled to arrive August 2nd.

In compensation for the inconvenience caused by this delay, we will provide an additional $75 per set discount to all buyers of the Hyper Black finish wheels who accept the delay. Alternatively we can provide an immediate full refund of the deposit to anyone who would like to cancel his or her order if the additional delay is unacceptable. Payment for these orders would be made 2~ days prior to the arrival of the shipment. Refunds can be made within 48 hours of your request.

An email is being sent to all members who purchased the Hyper Black finish with more details on how proceed.

Members who purchased Anthracite and Satin black will be contacted tomorrow to finalized payment. Those orders will be boxed and readied for shipping in advance, so they can go out immediately upon receipt of payment. Payment would have been collected today, but we were responding to the unexpected mix-up.

Thank you for your understanding. We greatly appreciate your support, and we are extremely sorry about this unanticipated and uncontrollable delay that has impacted some of the orders.

Sincerely,

Eddy Pintacsi

A $75 discount for an error that wasn't yours is very generous! Hopefully a little more wait won't be a huge deal.

[TheDerelict]

Well crap. This blows.

[hmm]

I just had to pick the hyper black :(
Well, I can work at a little slower pace to get the ES ready now.
Wonder if I should look for snow tires? Lol!

[Jurt]

Just paid off my remaining amount, cant wait to get them! Thanks for everybody who got this set up and working.

[Pocket Chant]

So glad I switched to Anthracite, just paid as well! Now I just gotta wait another week or so for them to ship cross-country :(

[matthugie]

Balance paid for the anthracite set. I guess it's time to order some tires.

[adjmcloon]

Can't wait to see everybody's pics once they're mounted!

If anyone is interested in my mint Hyperblack set and doesn't want to wait for the GB please drop me a PM.

Too bad I didn't see this earlier. Committed to buy yesterday. Ugh.

[adjmcloon]

Where were you a few months ago, Mr 325? :D I'd have snagged them up. Why are you selling?

I'm still on the fence about it but if the right buyer with a non-haggle attitude comes along I just may let them go! ;)
