I can't believe this CRAP......UPS left one of my wheels back in Texas. I called Tomzwheels and they had to call UPS to have a tracer put on the 4th wheel and tire. What kind of B.S. is that.....I've been waiting for over a week now and Tomzwheels told me that sometimes it takes 7 days to finally get a package that was lost. Without saying it, you probably know how pissed I am. Looks like I won't be getting them mounted first after all......

That sucks big time 
I'm sorry that happened! They shipped my wheels to my house when I had given my work address for the shipping one. Tomzwheels had it right but it was AR that screwed it up. Another thing was they had Tom's employee's name Katrina as the "ship to" and my work's name but the home address . Talk about screwy . They should give you a discount for this mishap.
I have my wheels and tires all packed in the car for tomorrow morning. The guy that painted the hatch is friends with a tire place and he gets a discount and said he'll take my car over. I'm meeting him around 8am.

I'll take my camera with me this morning...well I'll try to . There isnt much room left in my car. The four wheels are in the boxes standing on end with the seat folded down, one tire in the hatch area and one in the passenger seat. I'll have to look through the tire to see out the window 
. I have to keep the boxes so I can ship out the hawk wheels and am keeping the two back tires so the car will be just as full when I come home.

Dropped the car off and met up with my friend. Guess what he drove me back to work in???? A brand new Lambourgini 
First time I've ever ridden in one. Then the tire place called and said they can't use my McGuard Lugs because they are too tapered and wont center up the wheel. Seems as soon as I do one thing on my car it dominoes into more things that take more $$$.

car, lol. It's not like these guys have anything to lose. I'm sure they were just "making sure everything was properly balanced and handled well".

Yeah thats what they told me when I told them someone saw them. They said "we needed to torque them so we drove it around the circle 2 times then torqued them again. Anyway the wheels look AWESOME 
. They even packed the hawk wheels back in the box for me. When they showed me the total of $140 I asked them if I could wash the dishes in the back to pay for the bill. Then they took another $20 off for me. The lugs is what set me back....$60.
Anyway I'll take pics of the car after I get home, wash it and put some tire shine on
