Annual Alpina Kopi Wheel (Classic Replica) Group Buy - Delivery late May

[BMWE34M5]

100% refunds are available for those that want to pull out.
As of today, the LowTec shipment has not left Germany.
The wheels are in production in Italy and we are awaiting a sample as they are being made by a different factory-our previous supplier closed down.

I think that was a good move on your part.

Do you ever notice how he logs into R3V every day but doesn't update this or the Lowtec thread until someone calls him out on it, and then gives vague answers without any concrete proof of who he's talking to or what's going on? I do, and I'm thankful that I don't have any money tied up in anything he's involved with.

...Just my luck, I pull out at the last minute...

I might be interested in a GB if one got rolling.

I would be interested in a set if things finally get rolling.

[BMWE34M5]

We have a factory that is interested in producing the wheels.
I am waiting for a sample.

[VacMan]

Over a month since the last update. Is there anyone left in this thing?

[BMWE34M5]

We're not taking any more orders for the wheels until we know the status of our existing order's production date.

Waiting for Mel to chime in.

The question is, do you really want too??

I would love a set, but this looks like a fiasco. Not any one singular person to blame, from what I've read, but I can't justify paying for something and not seeing it for potentially 3+ months.

Good luck, hope everything works out.

[Danny]

Is it too late to get in on this?

[thedeal]

entirely untrue. It would cost a shit ton more to make them in the us. I'm still hoping mel can pull through and redeem himself.

Why not get an American wheel manufacturer? If the cost is greater for production

Why not get an American wheel manufacturer? If the cost is greater for production, I'm sure the shipping cost would offset the difference in price. And you would look like you were running a more ethical business. After reading this thread I as a consumer would be hesitant at best to do business with your company.

And it's not like it takes weeks for a pigeon to fly across the atlantic and deliver a message. Last time I checked the business world moves quick. How much thumb twiddling is there in the wheel production world?
