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

[e30Rob]

so how close are we to the GB being official cause i'm not gonna give me deposit and not get the wheels for 6 months. Hell how much is the deposit?

[Philo]

Deposits are 50% and due when you sign up. The order will be processed when it is filled - Which means people have to be patient. (yes, I called it patience:))

ummmm wrong hes suposed to be over there now or a few days from now picking them up so he says.
but ive been waiting over a year now for this GB and ive been told several times as to when they will be here and still NOTHING.
so who knows, like someone said before i find it silly mell doesnt stock these already.
and please stop saying mell is doing us all some big favor, last i checked he wasnt doing it for free.
realistickly hes paying about half what hes charging us and dubbling up his order for the ones he will be stocking up on.
hes using our money to cover the cost or most of the cost of ALL the wheels.
this is not a bad thing its just how buisnes is done.
the bad thing is holdng peoples money for over a year now and the constant broken promisses.
in the end hes hurting himself as some people have sold their cars or found other wheels.
had he already ordered the wheels and shipped them he would be closer to the next GB.
people need to say whats really on their minds, not just suport and pats on the back for a job POORLY done.

just my 2

He didn't say anything about bringing the wheels back; He just said he'd be overseas at the factory.

wo wo wo so wait.....people have had there deposits in for over a year and NOT gotten there wheels yet!!!!!??????

Ok i guess it's time to go back and read the entire thread now, cause there is no way i will let that happen....i would rather go out and piss in an on coming wind.

However if there is some word from the person hosting the GB, CONCRETE word when the wheels will come in i have no issue with adding my self to this GB. If everything that i just read above is true.....that is horrible business.

Is there any option to pay in full and get them here now i would be willing to do that as well.

No way to get these wheels new in the U.S. without going through Mel. He needs to fill the GB to order his stock that he carries. It will all come over in a big crate.

In all seriousness though....have some people really been waiting more than a year?

How many more people are needed to fill the GB and what was the original requirement?

Still interested.

Do we really have to wait until May? How many more sets do you need? I'd be interested in 17x7.5 for e30

Lol at this guy /\ This GB was for last may.

E30Rob - no more hand feeding. Read through the posts so you know what is up. The official thread is on Bf.c (there is a link to it in this thread)

This Group Buy is about 4 months old.
We've had several over the past few years.

your kidding right?

Lulz. That would be incorrect. GB started 1/31/09. Let's try the math again.

More buyers needed. bump.

actually i call him myself over a year ago now and was told he would have them in 3 months or at the end of the GB.

point being either way you look at it is at least dubble his 4 month claim .

as i said before this is NEVER going to happen.
