Of course, that doesn't jibe with what AEW said in their email to me yesterday about them being "available now" but I'll take Marcus's word over the email. He had all my info in their system, knew I already had the rears, etc. so he wasn't just talking out of his @$$.

I called Marcus today. He told me I was at the top of his list for chrome 20x 8.5 wheels, but asked that I be patient for another 2 1/2 to 3 three weeks.

I know most guys on here like the 20in rims. I'm just curious if anyone purchased 4 of the 18X8? or even the staggered 18in set. What size tires are you or going to run? I got mine in recently but haven't bought any tires yet. My son's truck isn't lowered at all right now, but thinking of 2.5 X 4 static. We want some tires with side wall, not too low profile. Anyway, if you have any pictures of your truck I would sure like to see what your tires look like with these rims. any help? thanks

Well even more time has past with extremely poor communication and has made me loose all faith that sublvr72 will get me these wheels. Ive sent him numerous pm and had only had one response and nothing since and that was at the time he responded here. I in fact want refund now no other option will please me, Im done dealing with a person that has this little respect for his costumers. If by Monday I haven't heard by him Im calling the credit card this time and letting them deal with this BS.

Have you tried calling him or Marcus at AEW? Phone numbers for both are posted in the past couple of pages of this thread. PMs are fine if you don't need a response right away, but sometimes nothing beats an old-fashioned phone call. If Marcus @ AEW doesn't have your order in the system and/or can't give a satisfactory explanation as to the whereabouts of your wheels, then by all means contact the credit card company and dispute the charge.

Not defending anyone's lack of response to PMs, just saying that a phone call or two might be a better option in this case.

Just got back in town again, sorry for the delay in response I forgot my laptop power supply so I didn't have access to the net all week. I'm an independent contractor for a company and I'm on call to be sent just about anywhere. Just fyi, HID Solutions is a part time gig for me so, unfortunately from time to time it ends up on the back burner while I have to go out of town. It has nothing to do with having little respect for customers, it's something I operate in my free time, which recently I haven't had a whole lot of. In the PM reply back to you I explained that I've already paid $300 in postage to get your wheels to you and it keeps coming back to me. You've explained that fedex won't ship to your area so as long as I can get the $300 in postage back from fedex I have no problem refunding your order.

You should be able to get the money back for shipping, it never reached its destination or even left your local warehouse. From the one tracking number I got the rims only made it to the sort yard. If you could please find out if you can get my money refunded before leaving for another couple weeks I would be extremely happy. Thank you for replying to my pm.

yes he never answers. The thing is that he has my wheels himself. Because they wouldnt send them to Canada he had them sent to him and then he would ship them to me, so really I dont think AEW has any part in this now. Otherwise I wouldve called AEW like the rest of you did and got my wheels lol

Oh, well that's entirely different. Check your PMs in a couple minutes.

How is everyone getting front center caps to fit? I just put 18's on my truck, and machined down front rotors. But the cap still is pushed out by dust cap on rotor. What is the fix to this, find smaller dust cap and cut clips of wheel center cap and silicone on?? Any help would be appreciated, thanks Jason

here is a pic of my truck with 18's

If you look through both threads you'll see that people are cutting down the clips on the center caps for the 18s. There are pics somewhere.

just an update for the rest of you-

I talked with Eagle Alloys and it looks like all wheels have been shipped except the chrome 20's. From my understanding, they still are not in the warehouse yet but they should be arriving shortly.

Depending on backspacing I'm sure it can be done. While not this particular style of wheel, but my 69 was wearing 20x9 on all 4 corners when I bought it. Now sporting a set of 15x8 vette style ralleys on all 4 corners.

I have an '82, anyone running 18x9.5s all the way around. I'm worried about rubbing the fender on bumps or sharp turns. Thanks for the help.

[67goatman455]

check your PM's for me as well, thanks......still waiting on a refund

[mrh33916]

Anyone running front tires larger than 245/45/20's?

My truck will be lowered but not slammed.

I'm thinking about a 275/55/20 for the front and 305/50/20's for the rear.

Both are 32" tall.

Well, just got off the phone with Marcus at AEW. Located a pair of 20x8.5 chrome in California and they'll be headed my direction on Monday. Should have 'em by the end of next week.

Tried to get ahold of him today, looks like he took the day off. Will try again tomorrow to find out what's up with the chrome fronts

[jugernot]

i'm hoping mine show up this weekend. When I spoke to Marcus on July 1 he said three weeks.

[brossow]

Well, f***. Just called Marcus at AEW and the rims (20x8.5 chrome) he had lined up turned out to be the old -2 revision, so no joy for me this week. Worse, they won't even give him an ETA on the -3 until Monday.

What has two thumbs and can't believe this bull****? This guy.

The -3's need the same modifications that the -2's need to fit them. Might as well just snag them.

Different center caps. I'm not waiting this long and paying this much to have wheels that don't match.
