        If they aren't shipping by mid-January, I'm going with 15x7.5 Slips.

          First they were coming in June. Then July. Then August. etc...

          When you have a season to plan for and need to figure out a wheel/tire combo, you need dates to be accurate. Being off by a few weeks is one thing. Being off by 7 months, (and still not guaranteeing arrival) is another. You hold off, and hold off, and keep holding off on picking up other wheels, because these are said to arrive on a certain date. Then they don't.

          No need to "relax" and assume they will be here 1/6. Considering the past half a year, you would be stupid to do that.

              I guess I came into this a little late. All I know is Jim from Tire Rack said 1/06. Whether that was just another guess, I don't know.

                Yeah, and it's probably not Tire Racks fault that they are delayed either.

                  I think an organization Tire Rack's size should be able to set an accurate release date... +/- 14 days is acceptable, but 7 months?

                    I just found these while looking at tirerack and didn't expect to find a thread this long. These seem great for the price. I'd like to pick up 5 of these when someone confirms how great these are. The only problem is I'll be among a few dozen E30 owners rocking these wheels.

                        They are showing IN STOCK for the Indiana warehouse!! Both sizes!

                        Now, who's going to be the guinea pig? :D At the latest I will order one for checking purposes by the end of this month, unless we have a report before then.

                          I thought these were going to look pretty slick on an E30 until I saw the actual wheel on tire rack. The multi-lug nonsense kills it for me.

                          I suppose though that's a moot point as most of these wheels will find themselves on track/autoX rats.

                              Agreed. I figured they may have been a decent set of cheap daily wheels, but the multi lug I am not a fan of. Granted its 5X100 in the pic but 4X100 won't look any better IMO. I'd still like to see actual pics though.
