Sorry to all for sidetracking this thread and making it my own personal battleground but I am getting a bit frustrated as of late and want to drive my truck..thanks for understanding.

They have your order and they should have shipped, I'm just waiting on getting confirmation that they went out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting the run around. this weekend is my deadline on waiting as well. as of Sunday it will have been 3 months since I purchased and was told they had been shipped but got returned, and that he would try shipping them again. well that was over a month ago and I keep getting the same story. now I get no response at all, so come Monday and they aren't here I'm calling my credit card co and getting my money back.

Probably what I'll end up doing as well.

Last time we talked I got your order returned to me from FedEx (again) I keep having international shipping problems with your order. I can see why eagle wouldn't drop ship to canada now. I haven't been home for about 2 weeks now, but I'll be back tomorrow. When I get back I'll get them out again for round 3, hopefully they will get to you this time and won't get returned again...

That's exactly what I wanted to see! Thanks! Will be ordering my adapters tomorrow! Where did u get yours at?

These guys sell at my local car swap meet (Vets stadium Long Beach)
American Made $80.00 for Rear including the nuts for his adapters.
I didn't see them on his web site but Raul took care of me.
In fact just got off the phone with him to order his custom 5 on 5 by 5/16
thick spacers. as of now I have the universal style but the ones he has made for him are made just for 1 bolt pattern and center in really nice .

Not a problem, I'm glad you let us know. You're Blazer looks great!!!

The problem I have with this group buy or Eagle is that you ordered your wheels on a Thursday at the end of May and received the rears the next day (THE NEXT DAY ARE YOU KIDDING ME)and the fronts a few weeks later while people in the group buy have been waiting 2-3 months for the same wheels that are not in the warehouse???

Where are the grey fronts that hit the warehouse last friday?

I'm asking for a actual update on these wheels.

I would like to know the exact status on the grey 20" fronts and rears.

I would like to know where I am in line to receive my wheels.

I tell you exactly what he told me, which is propbably what he is going to tell you....
They show to have shipped out last week man. If you don't have them by the first of next week get back with me and I'll find something out.

Well the first of the week was this week....I PM'd him yesterday and called. No answer and no retuned PM. I know he was online to veiw the PM after I sent it because I checked his personal status and it showed his last activity to be at 7pm my time. I sent him the PM at 11am my time earlier that day.

You guys might try contacting Colin (Sublvr72) directly. Here's some of his contact info (from Skype and from his website; I'm not publishing anything that's not readily available to the public):

Colin Gorman
Phone: (347) 725-0051
Skype: bigdaddyfatsac

His Skype profile has a couple other phone numbers as well, but I'll leave it to you to track those down if needed, in order to provide a bit of artificial privacy at least.

I, too, am waiting for two of my wheels but I understand the chrome 20x8.5's are in production and I can be patient a while longer. I'm at a bit of a disadvantage in that I paid with a cashier's check rather than a credit card, so my options are limited compared with just disputing the charge on my credit card. I don't doubt I'll get the wheels eventually -- just saying that for you guys who are also frustrated with the wait but paid with plastic, it could be worse.

[Steelie73]

I,m in the same boat as well. I ordered and payed for chrome 20's over 3 months ago. I was told that they were waiting for the fronts to be made so that they could ship all four rims to Canada at once. Starting to get a little worried.

Last update I had for the chrome fronts are that they were in casting, as far as I know they are almost done but they weren't quite done yet.

took me 2 days of calling every hour for them to pick up the phone. finally told me they had shipped out when i told him i wanted to cancel my order. he said i have to wait till the wheels get here, refuse delivery, wait till they get back to boss. then i can get my money back.....great

Sounds really familiar. Did the same **** to me, and I still don't have any wheels. Now I'm starting to get very irate.

[67goatman455]

idk about irate....lol but i do have a 67 GTO that would appreciate this money. Ill call them again monday

[TxSqueeze]

I am! I hate being lied too. Whether he is getting the wrong information from Eagle, or he's giving the wrong information to us, either way someone is not telling the truth and it's getting old. You can't tell me it takes almost 3 weeks to ship a set of wheels from Cali to Tx when I just ordered tires from there and they arrived 6 days later with 2 of the days being the weekend.

You know Sublvr has had chances to save face when he was logged in, or when I PM'd him. But he hasn't yet. So rather than calling him and not getting anyone on the phone, I decided to call Eagle myself. Again, that Vargas guy was a little arrogant, and it sounds like what he told me is what he told another member from Canada I think 4 times now. I don't have any wheels, and I don't have a tracking number either, so until then it's still all BS.

I got your order canceled, and it's not going to ship. I'll get your refund out when I get back in town.

Thank you VERY VERY much! ill keep an eye on my account to see when i get refunded. and to clarify, I'm not getting my refund because of anything going on with the shipping or anything. The truck is just for sale so there is no reason to throw a brand new set of wheels on it.

[Tim Christian]

I wished I would of paid more attention to this thread earlier and I could of saved you all a bunch of headache!!!! When I first looked at this I thought brossow was doing the group buy then I got to reading it and seen it was Sublvr72. Will I can tell you a story about him, me and the wheels on the Suburban in his avatar. My son owns those wheels(JUNK) I bought them from Sublvr72 a couple of years ago got 800 excuses why it took 4-months to get when they did show up one of them was bent keep in mind I bought them with tires on them. He said must of got done in shipping (GrayHound Bus) Yea Right! anyway paid to have rim straightened put new tires on all 4 of them supposly they had half tread what a joke!!!! Anyway one of the rims is still bad it loosens lug nuts and flys off the truck (WHICH SCREWED UP A BEDSIDE ON A FRESH PAINTED TRUCK) Anyway he SCREWED me and he knows he did. I would not ever buy nothing else from him I personally think he should be banned from the board or at least have to pay vendor fees to even have a Group Buy!!!!! I do want to say that the board was never aware of this transaction. I handled everything myself and never made them aware of this it was before we had a Bad Deals or Review section.

[TxSqueeze]

Well, this just got interesting.

[67goatman455]

i think this is getting blown out o proportion.....

Tim im not saying your wrong, but obviously you had a bad experience but that is in the past. sure it is still taking forever but it was (somewhat) explained that it will take a while to get them.

TxSqueeze i think you might be getting the wrong idea. I believe they may actually be on the way. (think i saw something about 2 weeks to ship) But he does seem to be flaky with contact.

I'm not pointing fingers just yet.

that doesnt change that Ive been waiting for 3 months when I was told they were shipped a week after buying, then told they were returned but it took him 3 weeks to noticed they were returned, only when I asked where they were. this has happened 3 times now. Ive ordered tons from the states and yes they do get held up at the border but only for a day, shipping is usually great, and I know Im getting the run around...

I sure wish I had heard tims story before as well, I would never had ordered though sublvr72 :'(

[JOHNORO]

Guys call Scott at American eagle Corona ca.
on Monday to see where the Grey ones stand
I was told there were only 9 sets of Grey 20 x 8.5
on paper as of last Wednesday but that was not verified (might be more?)
as far as SUBLVR72
NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED
He seemed to go out of his way to members a great deal
and this also must suck for him I don't think he is sitting on your rims
he just doesn't have them and big outfits like American Tire might have
more pull for just 1 pair of 8.5
I would give it another week at least
as you can see by the previous picture
of the box that I got they are dated 6/8/10 and took a couple weeks
from that date to get to me.
as far as chrome ones go my understanding is the black wheels come
in first the Grey ones have a take little more work to get them gray
followed by Chrome which take the most process...

best of luck to both sides

[k5hart]

I'm going to jump in and say that I had a problem with one of my wheels being the wrong bolt pattern when I got them and sublvr was very helpful to get this resolved. It took about two weeks but it was resolved. I think Eagle is more to blame for this mess than him. They seem to have mixed stories and shady distr. centers. I talked to one of the distr. guys somewhere and he bad mouthed one of the other centers in a different state. Not great business. It was also stated from the beginning it may take a while to get wheels. Not trying to argue with anyone. Just giving you my interactions. I can't blame anyone for being tired of waiting months. I would have been too.
