How long does it take to get a set of custom wheels?

[Poolboy 67]

Hey, I'm just trying to get an idea of what it typically takes to get a set of custom wheels built, or how long some of you guys have had to wait with some of the builders?

thanks

When you say custom do you just mean custom backspacing and color? Or do you mean a custom one-off designed wheel? Our one-off wheels take up to 8 weeks. Wheels from our 2 line with custom spacing and finishes take less then 4 weeks.

I have ordered mine on October 25th 2010 and am still waiting. So it's been over 4 months now

Yeah just color and spacing the design was right off the website. thanks for the input

Each manufacturer is a little different. Call them direct to check build times.

wow, thought I had it bad, mine were the end of December. I'm assuming you weren't expecting it to take that long?

From what I have seen, 4-8 weeks.

[chops101]

7 weeks from order to my door

My record is 19 weeks. Ridiculous. May the horsepower gods smile upon you and grant a different fate.

I just saw this post. Lex, who did you order our wheels through? We don't have any orders in our system that go back nearly this far. You can call me directly at # 866-634-4626.

Have 2 sets of Boze and never had this happen or have I heard of this. Must be a mistake or misunderstanding

Appreciate everyone's input, as it stands right now I'm not going to post any names as I've been following the other discussions in regards to vendors not delivering and I know the moderators don't take to kindly to negative vendor feedback. If you would like to know who I've been dealing with feel free to send me a PM and I'll let ya know for sure. I bought based on what I read on this site which seemed to be all good reviews as far as I could tell but I definitely won't make the mistake of ordering from them again.

Those (good) reviews can be very deceiving!!!

yeah definitely, I didn't post this to just jump on and bash a vendor, only decided to see what everyone else was experiencing after a number of emails, phone calls, to the vendor and getting nothing in return but a bunch of lies.
Feel that if a vendor is going to promote themselves on here they need to be accountable as well, as a business owner I understand that things do happen and mistakes are made but I don't feel that's what has gone on here and if I can save someone else the hassle of having to go through it, then it's worth a couple minutes of my time.

I think this is exactly why we need an official rating system for the vendors on this board. It has been my experience that people on this board stay away from making negative comments about the site's sponsors---to the detriment of the other members. I'm as guilty as anyone else. I had the same issue as you (& Lex) with the same vendor--we worked it out and it seemed pointless to come back and bash the guy. Also, I did not want to open up a big can of worms and have to defend myself for reporting a bad experience with a site sponsor!

I want to make clear that this was in no way a shot at Boze Alloys. I talked to Zak at Boze and it was a misunderstanding. Boze didn't receive my order until the end of December. Once they received my order they built the wheels in 6 weeks and have been waiting on the vendor for shipping instructions. I don't want to bash anyone on here. All I care about is getting what I paid for. I understand there can be problems especially when you deal with more than one vendor at the same time. Zak from Boze has been awesome in helping me get my issue worked out. I think if people would communicate better with each other it would prevent more misunderstandings. I think most people would understand better just being honest with one another.

So the vendor took your money and didn't order the wheels until 2 months later? And now Boze has been waiting almost a month for the vendor to supply shipping instructions?
