I’ve waited 6 months for HRE’s because forgings in 24 inch were scarce. I’ve also waited 5 days for a set. Stuff happens. Going off on HRE for waiting the exact amount of time they told you to wait seems confusing to me.

Perhaps the better question to ask here is what in specific is annoying you this much?

I was curious about other people's experiences ordering. It got a bit out of hand, but it did show flaws in the ordering process. I'm sure it's a great product coming my way, I would know since I had them on my last M4. The last set a purchased came through quick though.

I must be the only person on the planet who thinks the P101's are just 'meh'.


That said, I love HRE wheels as a whole. If I were doing a high-end build, there's maybe only 1-2 other brands I'd consider sourcing wheels from. I don't understand why the OP is mad. 5 weeks is more than 4, but it's also less than 6. If you get 7 weeks in, then I can understand being frustrated. You're shelling out that kind of money for custom-spec'd wheels, you have to be patient. Just my .02

I waited 8 weeks for my custom Forgestar wheels.... and then I had problems with the finish 2 weeks after I mounted them

They are fixing them and taking care of it so I won't slander them. Just was pretty upset after such a long wait time and shelling out a pretty penny to have problems immediately after they were mounted.

If you think that's bad, try ordering wheels from a Japanese wheel company. Takes 4-6 months.

Sorry for the photo quality. I would take it outside and take a picture in the sunlight which would be perfect, but it'll be raining all day. Can't wait to see how they look once installed

Just wanted to say that if you order your disney tickets online you can get the fastpass thing for free. I've done it for my past 2-3 visits.

Hre does have a long lead time but in my experience it has always been worth the wait.

They have a long log of orders so it takes a while to get to the front of the line.

If anyone can get a skip line pass for DisneyLAND not Disney World please PM me. God forbid I have to go to Florida ever again (excluding Ft Lauderdale/Miami).

I had to go check since my wife always books. Says it's included in the price of admission. Doesn't say anything about extra charges. Also doesn't mention anything about having to buy tickets online.
