Mackin is THE importer for Volk/Rays to the United States. If you buy from anywhere stateside, it goes through them first anyways.

Great guys, I've spoken to their marketing guy before, he's been with them for almost a decade and really is a stand up dude.

Also, MXP is their performance parts division, and you'll find great reviews on them as well. Same folks. You got nothing to worry about.

Hey they're rare for a reason man, and they quite literally probably have your name on a printout laying on a block of aluminum in line for the forge... Some of manufactures are smaller than you think. I just did same thing with Cusco. Order from japan, then you gotta wait for them to build em up, spec how you want, pack and ship. It's worth it tho you'll be glad you did it!

Yeah the worst part is waiting. It "SHOULD" come on time but like I said even bad weather can delay.

I waited 3 months for some custom Advan's for my civic and after 5 months the vendor told me they were left on the dock in Japan.

I cancelled my order and got lucky running in a Apex'i employee at the nopi nationals that sold me a set he had on his civic he was looking to move anyway.

Some special orders can take 4-5 months. I have heard as long as 7 months on some really special wheels since they have to have enough to make a production run of them first.

I usually see the 2-4 months as a solid ETA on things that aren't already in stock with them and not crazy custom or special.

As for all my dealing with Mackin they have been great and thats also because I am getting wheels they have in stock

Waiting time always fluctuates. I ordered to sets of ce28n's when I had a my s2 and turbo integra. one set was a 16x7 diamond black and the other was a 17x10 in white. 16's came in at 3 1/2 months, the 17's..... took 6 months.

Ah nice! I sold my 18x9.5 +22 F-Zero blue TE37's first of the year to get some 18x10.5 +18 TE37RT's recently. Love the Hyper Blue!

What were you told for on the wait time? Mine were already on there way from Japan when I ordered them so my wait was less than a month
