    You guys kill me.

    With that link, those are only 15x7's. Not 15x8's

    Agree with the above - somebody builds a light wheel with our specific wacky offsets and offers it in 7 and 8 in. widths. Sounds good to me! I remember rushing to get on the Rota group buy before these wheels and the 949s came out - at least now there are options. And $100 is a crazy good price.

    I'll probably order these tomorrow.

    Let's not forget that those are supposed to be track wheels. Therefore the look plays second role behind function. If they are light, strong, offer decent clearance for BBKs and are cheap too, well, I wouldn't be bothered by 8 holes instead of 4.

    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.

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

    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.

    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?

    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.
