New Wheels
Whenever I want something really badly, it seems to turn into an ordeal for me.
I've been drooling over black bullitt motorsport staggered wheels since last Sept. I finally got my finances straightened out enough that I was able to get a loan to buy them! Happy happy joy joy! Right? So I call American Muscle to order and they are Out. Of. Stock. Uggggggggh.
I really wanted them bad- and wanted to order that day, so I found a set at Cruizin Concepts. The guy on the phone said they were in stock and would ship out in 3-12 days. In the meantime, I had PMed a CC guy who watches the forums, on another forum. After about 5 days, he finally answers me, and says he's out of stock in what I want. I said, "oh really? I just ordered them- and CC told me they were in stock and I'd be getting them... blah blah..."
And that's just the beginning. He was supposed to be "checking" on my order, but was sending these noncommittal cryptic emails, stringing me out over the next couple days. I finally got tired of that and called CC. I found out the guy I spoke to had totally misled me, and that the wheels were on 30-45 day backorder!!! I demanded my money back immediately. That was Tuesday, I got my refund today. They are back in stock with AM... thank goodness. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes, usually they are quick.

Thanks for the information. I will be ordering wheels in the next couple weeks and I have looked at CC wondering how their customer service was. AM has always been good and I live only a state away from them so shipment times are always good. Not rubbing it in Pete. 
Good luck with your order and I bet AM pulls through for you.

hehe, really, thats exciting. cant really beat am`s sales and service. always good dealing with them. now we`ll just wait for the pics
i got my wheels late in the evening and was out in the driveway with the floor jack, torque wrench and a lantern. as soon as i got them on drove into town to a bank that had lights in the lot, and took some pics
