Default A Little Dissapointed !!

I could be pissed but just a little unhappy. I ordered new wheels a couple of weeks ago. I should have my new chrome Z06 wheels by last Monday, day off on Tuesday, appointment to have swap done. I call to get tracking number to find that almost a week later they have not even shipped. They get this straightened out and do ship that day. That will be fine, just another week and I have two days off this week. The wheels arrived on Friday, left on front porch, very exciting. I have made another appointment to get the swap done next Tuesday and I decided to put a couple of coats of Rejex on the inside of the 4 wheels for some preventative maintenance. I open up all the boxes and the wheels look sweet. I am sitting down getting ready to get to work and take a closer look at the boxes and read 17 X 8.5 and 17 X 9.5 WTF!! I called today and I am sure that all will be taken care of but sheesh can't a guy get a break. I am sure that it will take at least another two weeks to get the wheels shipped back and the replacements returned to me. Oh well, I'll post some pics when it gets done.

as long as they are staying on top of things (which it sounds like they are...kinda...well extending good customer service) you'll totally forget about this waiting time when you are enjoying those new wheels!

Good luck finally getting all the right parts and having them installed on the car. I'd be a little aggravated too.
