I have the worst luck! Just checking my email and the rep emailed me and said they only had four in stock and one is damaged! Same time frame to get another one. I can get the original rims at Fitment Industries but they don’t have the tires I want. So I either wait the 4-6 weeks or get the rims from one place and the tires from another and pay to have them mounted/balanced. Only other option is to get the Niche rims which are $170/rim more! Are they that much better?

No, it's not that bad. It's $30/wheel to mount and balance then $5/TPM. I went through and added everything up and by the time I buy the TMP's, hubcentric rings and then mount and balance, I would almost be at their price anyway! Now the rep is telling me it will be more like 3 to 4 week at the most to get the Modena rims so I just said "screw it" and told him to order them.They will mount/balance the tires, install the TMP's, provide the hubcentric rings free and throw in a set of black lug nuts (I have my own McGard though). This way I get everything from one place and all I need to do is put them on the vehicle.

Well, as my luck goes, I had to cancel my order. My sister was in a bad accident and I need to fly my mom and myself to North Carolina. She was T-boned by a teen texting! She is going to be ok but she is in ICU right now with internal injuries and a broken pelvic bone. So rims will just have to wait until after the first of the year.

Yep! She never hit the brakes! My brother-in-law, who was also in the car, said the first thing the cops did was look at her phone and determined she was in the middle of a text when the wreck occured! Not all, but a lot of the kids these days have no fear or respect for anything! I picked up my daughter from school the other day and one of the other students followed us out of the parking lot and then was right on my bumper for about a mile or so. I finally got so pissed that I stopped and got out and yelled at her! All she had to say was, "F*ck you A*# hole! Get out of my way!" Then a little ways up the road she passes me over a double yellow line and almost hits the car in front of me that was turning! I told my daughter, "If I ever find out you're driving like that I'll take the truck away so fast and you'll be taking the bus to school again!" Right now she only has her permit and drives pretty cautiously. Hopefully I've taught her well enough to know not to drive like an idiot.

I'm glad to hear she's doing ok! Hope she gets to full recovery quickly!
Texting and driving is one of my biggest peeves! I've been run clear off the road 3 times by them.
One time it was by a semi on a 65mph highway. I was blessed that there was a break in the guard rail exactly where I was run off.
Was forced through it and on to the grass median at 65mph and had to lightly break and then back up 3-400ft to get back on the road again through the guard rail break.
Not to mention how long you have to wait at green lights now-a-days. No one is beeping at the texting lead car to go because they're all doing the same d*mn thing!
