Yep, fixed. I assume a leak in the factory silicon, somewhere. The joys of 3pc wheels, smh.

Yes, bought both my wheels used, but before I bought the used set of 505a's, I had talked with CCW about a new set of the SP510's. They were very helpful and answered all my questions.

Opinions on looks are fine but you throw around that youve owned both when you never dealt with either company through the long haul. Fikse had a rep call me about a year after I had the wheels asking me questions and I told them their **** sucked. I would order from them again in a heartbeat though.

I saved way too much money and wasnt in any rush. Thats what the OP asked for how long does it normally take. LPE and myself cant speak to normal wait times. I dont know if they got any better or worse but their wheels speak for themselves. You should try contributing to this site in a positive manner for once.

I agree, and that's what turned me off about 3 PC. wheels. From around 1972-1990, I had access to a tire machine, so things like rim leaks, bad tires, etc, wasn't a problem for me. I don't have that access anymore, and the two shops in my area, that I'd actually trust with a set of high end wheels, have both closed. The owners got old and retired, so for me, at present, high end, or large OD wheels aren't practical anymore.....
