Vividracing.com - anyone used them?

Just a quick heads-up as I'm about to order some wheels from them.

Has anyone used them? If so, good/bad experiences?

Thanks

known issues with them in the Subaru community. What wheels are you trying to get? I haven't come across anything yet that I'd have to deal with them...there's always another source.

I tried Edge Racing but they don't ship internationally so it looks like I'll just pay an extra $500 and get them from a UK dealer for peace of mind.

that's not abnormal actually. it took me from Aug until Feb to get my Volks from another vendor. If it's not in stock at Mackin in CA, it comes over on a slowboat after the order is submitted.

I have Work wheels on order....I was told 8-12 weeks, which is more to be expected. Volk takes forever for some reason, even more reason to deal with a vendor who will answer your calls and emails.

Looks like you've already made up your mind...for the best

I'm local to these guys and they are very unresponsive to both phone calls and emails.

To be fair, they have been quite good with emails, there was just something niggling me about them which is why I thought I'd post.
